No porcupines.

Just a redneck Monday. A bit of a chill in the air, so I got the fire going before skinning and processing him. My bride made me a whiskey at 9am for the skinning/fire duty. Cooked a tenderloin on the fire after the coals were nice and red. This smokepole hunting is fine, but I'm ready or rifle season to start. Which reminds me, I have to clean the rifle now. Damn it.


Nothing fancy, just a nice fall Monday morning, the way they should be.

Hard to find a fault with this setup.

Good way to start your day!

Not a thing not to like about that picture......

The kids and I skinned out a pair of whitetails on Friday evening by our fire pit, while my dad and my wife sat in chairs and visited with us. One of my favorite things to do. Snapped a photo of my wife the next morning as she prepared to grab her side of the overflowing gut/carcass bucket. I got death threats for my troubles....

That looks to be about the perfect eating size.....well done.

I plan to do the same thing this year but I'm waiting to catch a nice fat young one standing in front of the garage

I honestly can't think of anything more enjoyable.

Seems you could have hung that little guy a bit higher.

Pic of the rifle utilized?

Quote from True Grit...

Why did they hang him so high?

Perhaps in the belief it would make him more dead.

Great way to get the week started.

When you have 3 dogs you hang them high till it's time to do the work. They go NUTS over a deer.

Ah, yes indeed. That would explain it for sure...

50 cal T/C inline. Rifle season starts this coming Saturday. He died not 10 yards from where the doe I shot on Friday died.

mo pics

He should eat well.

You sure that one will taste right, he's got a broken tine?

He's been fighting. Actually smelled just a little 'rutty'

I am jealous Scott!! looks like a grand time

Cool. never could like non aged venison, but there was something about tryiing to enjoy the kill right there on the spot.

Good on ya!

Now coat that bore and plug and you won't have to clean right away....

I typically let them hang a few days, but this ain't the week for that. Have yet to eat a bad one off our place, besides you can 'age' it after you take it out of the freezer too.

Nice!

I dated a couple gals like that but they was OK.

Is that an Impact?

Yes

That's OK. I got one today to make up for your lack....grin

Like your set-up there Scott. Nicely done, congrats.

Looks like fun!

Nice looking place Scott.

Not a bad day at all.

That ain't no Savage........................

Looks like all is in order at your place today, Scott. Good for you. And thanks for sharing the pics and story.

Nice setup! Good Monday for sure!

Are the nuts still attached to that deer?

Where is the hammock?

Very cool, Scott!

On your hoist set up, are you tying off to a cleat on the backside of the tree?

Gfy Scott. In this instance it stands for good for you

Scott. Looks like you are enjoying your well deserved retirement. How do you like the Gator?
