What are you hunting/fishing?
-
HerbcoFood you know you’re doing things right when you harvest a mature trophy
like you have there. Congrats again and merry Christmas 
to you and yours.cdavis Yep, I am doing my best to look as many deer as possible to try aging them.
-
When you take your deer into a check station here, they will randomly pull deer and age them. They will also do it if you ask them too.
Interesting to watch how they do it. They look at the wear on the rear molar surfaces of their teeth to determine their age.Paul

They have the set of bottom jaws to age the deer. It still can be a little difficult with them.

My youngest son and I got a day of muzzleloader in yesterday. Because of his job, he has only been able to hunt 2 days this year and this was definitely the end of the season for him. I let several small doe walk in the morning since my freezer is about at capacity and I was counting on him getting one. He took a buck in the afternoon, so I’m doing another freezer purge tonight to make room. At least its well below freezing outside and I can use coolers while figuring it out.

GWG8541 Very nice. Congratulations to him on a job well done. Which smoke stack did he use? Let him hang for a few days, it will really make the meat much nicer, so long as it is not too cold.

RON PARRISH yeah the temps were brutal, especially with the wind.

bocephus yeah, I had one die on me this year. Time to start shopping for another one.

I send out Congratulations to ALL of you with your fall hunts and family fishing adventures this fall!!
I hunt deer 1st season shotgun in Iowa and soft water fish only now as I’ve almost sold all of my ice gear with an exception of my auger and flasher n camera.
My groups deer hunt has been less than stellar for the last 3 years. We had a major loss of deer to a disease that was not CWD in the county and river basin that we hunt on private ground. I still have deer tho, a friend sent me 3 deer that were reported and I will process then for our group. T-Loins, loins/back straps, burger is already packaged and divided. I have Summer sausage, bacon and meat sticks to do. Another fella in our group does the dried jerky. -
1,800 deer were lost with in the stretch of the river within our county that year.

I have one more duck hunt a week from Saturday, then the last weekend of the month I have one more deer hunt. Hunting season takes forever to get here and then is gone in the blink of an eye!

HerbcoFood Best of luck on this one & hopefully it will not be a Bluebird day so you can get some ducks & geese down.

calldoctoday Hopefully, honestly it can’t be worse than it was last time. At least this time around its actually cold up north.
-
GWG8541 congrats to you both.

@dennyo so sorry to hear about your deer herd. I hate hearing about these because they can strike anywhere anytime. Hope your herd recovers quickly.
