Let's see what y'all get this year. We're off and running. Our bow season opened on Friday. Personally, it's too damned hot out, too many bugs, and the deer have their share of ticks. Not really my cup of tea when it's 80* outside. I don't usually get out until things cool off a little, but my son is ready to go. He wants to get a velvet buck. He went out Saturday evening for the first time and an hour into it, a bachelor group showed up. It's pretty thick, but he managed to slip his arrow though to the boiler room. No velvet though. It looked like he probably lost it in the past week or so.

Yeah, he and his wife eat them as fast as he can shoot them. I've gotten a lot more selective in my old age, but I think that I gave away 3 or 4 last year. I can only fit so much deer meat in the freezer.

Good stuff Stone, as high as meat is, old folk on fixed incomes have to appreciate the hell out of a freezer full of venison.

On Saturday I got to the farm and my son was running late. About 5 minutes after I was settled in, my son had gotten there and when he headed to his stand he flushed out a huge 9 point and it headed towards where I was. Of course I wasn't looking in the right direction when this monster came running into my neck of the woods. Caught me totally off guard and he got past me. An hour later this doe and two bambies came along. This is my first deer of the year. Meat in the freezer. Let's see what you guys are coming up with so far.

Nice buck. Nothing yet here. Supposed to cool down Sat, will be out then. Kid had new house built, wants to have a luncheon at it. Uh, when I'm done deer hunting that morning. Mom can go without me, I'll show up when I'm done.

Congrats to the young man. It's finally starting to cool off enough for me to go.

Mine's not really big but he'll EAT good. His little head got his big head shot. Our Muzzleloader season opened Sat. I've been seeing plenty of deer. Mostly Doe, fawns, yearlings. Our bucks are on the prowl -> looking. This guy came out Head High, Shoulders out, Lookin Tough ! The Knight Wolverine 54 CAl was tougher. He was NOT as big as I thot in the 6X Redfield scope but Oh Well. He IS legal here - 5 1/2 point....grin. We have 3 pt on one side minimum. I haven't hunted any muzzleloader since 2011 BUT this year AGFC moved our Oct Antlerless M G season TILL Dec. So Knight got limbered up. This Ain't Catch n Release. LOL Jerry

Congrats on early season meat! Just got chilly this week around here. I will be out with the bow finally later this week. Have only been humping the local hills for exercise and shrooms. Things are starting to move around here and feeding habits are changing, that and many of the crops are now being harvested.
