What are you hunting/fishing?
-
cdavis yeah it is a bit strange to not see deer. Back home in my hunting unit it is good but it will take a few years for a lot of units to come back. I think the best thing that the game and fish could do is shut down the harvest in some units.

johnsbrewhouse sounds like our summer. We have had a couple of hard freezes already. We were in the teens for lows last night. I’m now worried about a hard winter on the already decimated population in some areas. I’ve seen 1 deer in 2 months around Bismack!
ND Mike We have had two hard freezes as well but our coldest was 28 degrees, being close to the coast our temps are a bit more moderate. Our place in the mid mountains sits at 1700 ft and gets colder, but we have had lots of deer. We have a creek that flows year round off the mountains, it got really low, but still had flow, so the animals had fresh water. Lots of cow elk and does which need a permit, only one is given for the hunting unit each year and I haven’t ever been lucky enough to get one. Most of the blue tongue is east of the mountains where is was hot and drier and a lot more fires this year.

ND Mike Need reduction around me. I just saw an 8 pointer and 3 doe out my back door. The highways are riddled with deer accidents. Want some?
zbigjeff that’s how it used to be around!
-
johnsbrewhouse that is correct. The transmitting insects will die after a hard freeze.

I hunted this buck the whole muzzle loader season. I passed on numerous smaller bucks hoping this buck would show up in the daylight. 
Nothing like waiting till the last 15 minutes of the last day. But it paid off. 
Got my skinning crew all hooked up. It just amazed me how good my kids have gotten at this. They are now 11 and 12 years old. They’ve been doing this since they were 5. 
back straps and tender loins are coming out. 
2hrs and 20min. from the time of the shot til the meat is on ice to bleed out for 3 or 4 days.

bocephus those bucks should start moving more with the rut drawing near.
-
cdavis Yep I think it is starting, hopefully in full swing next week.

bocephus this buck I killed was the first good buck that I’ve seen chasing does. The little bucks have been pestering them for about 2 weeks.

cdavis “Love is in the air” throughout the northern region for sure just by looking at the highways each day. I wish all of you hunting people a good time. I was never introduced to it in any of my circles. Can’t wait to here all the stories. But, keep them above board. LOL

But, in comparison to other loins I’ve seen here by others, those backstraps are expertly done and clean. That’s about all I know. It does look like you scored a bounty for sure.

I sat out yesterday evening. The bucks are starting to chase the does around here.

cdavis has done this a few times. Looks like an expert team at work on that buck!

The bucks are chasing, in the low country of S. Carolina. Seen two this morning but they wouldn’t slow down. Other things on their mind!!
Love is in the air. Game on!

ND Mike I love hunting with a muzzle loader. I’m so glad we don’t have to draw for a tag. I wish you and your wife the best of luck on your draw.
