From Madison I take mine to Barrett’s they have a 24 hour drop off cooler. Just back up fill out the paperwork, put deer on a plywood plank and slide it down the rollers into the cooler. Barrett’s is toward Scottsburg and is a little over 20 minutes from me.

No for my partner and I on big oaks gun. Usually a sure thing and also do a couple of no show draws every year. Did get Charlestown early and late so I am happy for that.

So you have shown that you do have to have a refuge tag for a buck out of gun season, but can use a bonus antlerless tag for does. Thanks I am sure that will clear up any questions that people have.

I thought that the in or out of season tagging only applied to the buck. I could be wrong I too have a lifetime license, but have sat through the safety briefing for close to the last 20 years.

Just buy one refuge tag for a buck and use your bundle for does. If you get a buck on the first day then you can buy another to have just in case you get a doe on the second.

It was my third year hunting and I had heard that they were going to stop selling them. So I drove to Indianapolis and bought mine the day before gun season. It paid for itself in about 7.5 years.

Got mine. I see why I didn’t get a gift card mine is postmarked Bloomington, and they won’t give Purdue fans anything except wins in basketball.

Roast it, shred it, and make it into turkey salad.

Finally got close enough to the 4 long beards to get it done. 24.8 lbs, 11.5” beard, and 1 1/4” spurs.

I’m out and watching the 4 Toms strut around about 500 yards away, but I have been driving over to the church and watching them come over this hill that I am sitting on every night at about 8 pm est. so it hopefully is just a waiting game now.

I have 4s, 5s, and 6s. My son’s 500 in 20 gauge liked the 6s the best and my 870 liked the 5s the best, but I am now shooting the 4s and they work just fine out to 40 yards.

I’m not using a decoy because I know that they are going to come to the feed lot. I just sit beside it and watch and wait.

Went to the church again this morning and saw 5 birds come over the hill. Drove around to the farm and had four long beards and a jake in the feed lot that I sit next to. Hopefully they repeat this behavior on Wednesday.

Congratulations to the young man and the grandfather that has to be smiling bigger than the hunter.

It isn’t what it used to be but it is only about 10 minutes from my house so that makes it worth a bit of my time.
