Got my doe cut and in freezer with bones boiling to be picked for beef/venice and noodles with mashed potatoes. Have been sitting on porch swing drinking a cup of coffie enjoying the nice Nov weather. I live in a woods with lake view so it IS is kind of live from the woods. Haha

The non hunting neighbor came over to watch me skin and butcher my deer. He was very inquisitive and ask a tun of questions. I thi k it took me an extra hr and a half to get dune explaining what and why I did stuff. I sent him home with a butterfly stake and a small lower rump roast. I explained the stake was going to taste like deer not beef but would be good and the roast with all the fixens he would not be able to tell the difference. He called me about anhr later and said he grilled the stake medium rare and it was delicious haveing a taste un like beef but good and tender. I really enjoy introducing people to wild game. I just hope HE does not screw up his roast. We will see. When I was working I some times prepared game(bear deer goose elk) and would take it to work and put it on the table at lunch for any and all to to eat with the understanding "eat all you want just make sure anyone that wants to try some gets sone" Never brought any back home and I took in some big pans full some times too. Even had a guy ask if he could take some bear home for his wife to try. He could not believe how good it was. Of course I said yes.

Just about a heart attack. Apparently the ladder stand worked itself a little loose in the wind. It felt solid as I was climbing and getting settled. After about 30 min a gust of wind hit and that sucker slid about 4 inches. Thank God for the harness. I tightened the stand down best I could and climbed down. I'm glad that didn't have a worse ending!

Passed on the weirdo and two does around 730. Three days ago, he was on our hit list. After seeing a biggunnnnn here two nights ago, this deer will only be a last chance buck lol genetics need deleted from the area, but gawdddd I wanna kill a monster lol Got at least 1 130+ deer on each of my three hunting properties this year. Feeling blessed. I hope so. I do not think I could kill 3 bucks and add them together and get 130 in. They are hammered hard in the area I hunt for meat on the table Hunting three counties and I live in a fourth. I swear this is probably more expensive than leasing good land near my house (without even considering my drive time as a lost expense) lol As far as this mornings buck goes... fingers crossed I don’t regret passing on him, because he does have character that I really like.

A couple of does came out for a drink. Unfortunately, they're not on the menu this evening.

Doe and fawn came out. That wrapped up my evening hunt. Not sure if I'll hunt tomorrow morning or not. If not, I may not hunt again until opening day of firearm. Or the Friday before. I'm making good headway on splitting wood so on my couple days off beforehand I may just focus on that

My youngest son and I saw a doe being chased by a young buck and then a bigger buck came off the hillside and joined the chase. Bryson said he was a nice one with tall tines. I never had a chance to see it, but I would guess it was mature by the sound of the deep grunt he let out! Fun evening!!

Only deer I saw was a big buck, moving fast through the brush about 150 yards out, about 15 minutes before dark.

Got to the farm about 530 this evening...shot my bow for a bit and waited for it to get dark. Set up the AR on the tripod and tried calling a spot right next to the house. 2 minutes later, dead dog on the ground.

Biggest deer on the farm. I feel my draw weight may be lacking... 😜 I'll bet it will stand there long enough for you to put at least one arrow each in the legs that are on your side, that way it won't run away and you can get closer to finish it off.

I was out Monday and saw four bucks and four doe. All from 8-915 am. All the bucks were crushing, but it was odd none were chasing the doe I saw which were all in a pack, two had potential but not quite big enough. I’m glad I passed because I’m in stand looking at my camera and a very nice 12 pt was on it!!! Hoping he stays around they started shelling corn just north of me that same day and it’s the only corn that was still up.

Ended my hunt Monday afternoon when a pretty 8 point walked by at 15 yards. The Wicked Ridge and Slick Trick 4 blades did their job and he was down in 50 yds. Now I'm taking the grand kids when rifle season comes in.
