What are you hunting/fishing?

HerbcoFood always good to get to know those guys. I have gotten to know a couple of game wardens over the years and when there is a problem, I know who I can call. They always will point you in the right direction, plus if you hunt in the areas they patrol, they will always remember who you are and how you were to them.
johnsbrewhouse Ran in to one in Kansas, after he was done checking all the licenses (I think there were about 10 hunters from 5 different states), he told us about some farmers who he thought would let us hunt their land. We had plenty of areas to hunt but I thought that was very nice of him.

So I went out on the hardwater today and caught one perch! It wasn’t even a keeper!!! Marked fish all day on the vexilar and they just didn’t want to cooperate today no matter what you threw at them! But Austin would be proud, this was my snack!

ND Mike one of my go to’s, I have 3-4 of each flavor. We got skunked too, had activity but just couldn’t find what they wanted.

ND Mike haha! Perfect snack!

The deer I was out hunting didn’t show up, but this cull buck made a mistake by walking out. We aged him by his bottom jaw at 4.5, so he really needed to be culled out. I am turning the entire son of gun into ground burger meat.

HerbcoFood that’s a lot of burger, not saving any steaks or roasts?

HerbcoFood You guys are amazing at being able to tell the age in a split second while your trigger finger is going crazy and twitching. I don’t hunt. But, see many deer fairly close to me. I applaud you guys for being that skilled.

YooperDog When I debone it I will see how much it weighs, but we eat at least a 1lb a week of ground venison.

zbigjeff Yeah, it takes a lot of research of looking at photos of deer. Then also discussing with others on their thoughts. But of course aging is very regional, a 4.5 year old in the area of Texas I hunt will look nothing like a 4.5 year old corn fed Iowa deer. It is difficult at times, it is also fun having those discussions.

Also note that the actual aging of a deer doesn’t take place till it’s down. The wear of the teeth on the lower jaw is what determines the age of the deer.
On a buck you can get an approximation of its age by observation of the animal’s physique.
Like most male humans, a buck’s body progressively fills out as it ages, assuming good health and diet.

YooperDog I’m the only one in my family that will eat them!

Austin they hit the spot! They have jalapeño powder in them. They actually had a nice amount of heat.

HerbcoFood Thanks for the recap. I knew you guys were good. But, the age is more accurately determined after the cull. Now, I know more. See, if a person wants to know more about meat processing from the beginning till the table, this is a very good site. Introduced 5 others to the site in the last 2 weeks and they said the same thing. Yay for all of us.

ND Mike Well at least we know the rest of the family is smart.
