The warbles are just a distraction the meat is good
I just skin them, the warble stays with the hide. They have finished cutting the shagbarks and a lot of the tightbark hickory here mostly in the walnut, butternut and white oak now.
I had my cur dog out last trip, we killed a few but mostly both of us were frustrated with all the leaves still on.
As for deer, I had my son out on youth weekend and he killed a little 6 point which he is super proud of. Doubt I'll hunt deer again until muzzleloader season comes in. I'm waiting on shoulder surgery and don't crossbow so I'm out of the arrow game for the time being.
