Congrats man!!!!!! Btw offer still stands on a quick hands on demo for gutless & pack out…….. a popup is a super cheap investment & you won’t be near as sore & deer is ready for cooler when you get home at 1030-11pm. View attachment 92454

Thank you I should take you up on that. I have a pop-up 38 and a exo k4 so no real excuse for why I still bring that 80 lb cart out lol. I think in hindsight I was waaaaay too careful with the skinning, he had a good 3/4+ inch fat covering most of his back etc, so I could have likely gone much quicker with that portion. One small benefit to bringing him home is I am going to try to tan the hide. I think. We'll see how I'm feeling this weekend, it's in a bag in the freezer for now.

I got the meat all shuffled around in the cooler and removed some of the stray hairs I didn't see last night. I think this evening I'll have to tackle the head, I don't really have freezer space for it and it's likely gonna start smelling pretty ripe after sitting outside for 24 hours. Plan to diy euro mount, not sure if I'll go for the cold water maceration again or give boiling a shot.

Y'all got me PUMPED. I just settled in about 3. Paddled up a slough and bailed off on the other side. Walked the edge through some chest high stuff and found the mother of all persimmon groves. There's scat everywhere and at least 10 trees within 30 yards of me. Loaded.

WWWWEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL how did it go
 
I am almost done processing that deer, have most of it in the freezer now but still need to grind the ziplocks and deal with the head(euro) but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to go hunting again tonight. Not going to, I have too many chores and such to catch up on, but I want to lol.

I'm sitting tomorrow morning, and if everything works out, tomorrow evening as well... I have some stuff in the middle of the day scheduled, so we'll have to see if that interferes with the evening hunt. No guaranteed spots, but that's hunting!

A bust lol wind wasn't ideal and my approach may have been a little closer to the direction they were coming from? Hard to tell. Saw two fat@ss raccoons climb and eat straight from the tree. Saw 5 deer driving out well past dark. Hopefully revisit with a North/West wind.

I just landed myself in the ER. Didn’t even get to hit the grouse hunt to hard, and still up in the UP with the wife kid and dog. I am thinking my plans to get out any time soon are not going to happen. They are doing piles of tests but count me out of the race until they get this figured out.

Good luck out there and be safe fellas.

Ah dang. Deer contest is a distant second compared to health and well-being. I hope whatever's going on you get through quickly.

Went and still hunted during the rain in the afternoon (not for the contest, no saddle). Jumped a buck, but too far off for the bow, not that I could've legally shot it anyway because I'm tagged out on my buck in PA. I was hoping for a doe... Here's some pics of where I hunt and things you find on public lol (all that ground cover in the first pic is waist-high blueberry brush).

Finally made it out this afternoon. 2 does and a 5 pt. Action is always good but not what I’m looking for. This spot is not a doe spot for me, a couple good bucks running around so I do not want to mess up the area just yet by shooting a doe. I should be getting more time here shortly. We will see if I can put some points on the board

Good job guys! Keep it up

Valid. No sense in blowing out a spot if you’re gonna return. Plenty of season left.
 
Didn't make it out on opening weekend. In the process of building a house and had too much work going on. Planning a hunt this evening tho
