Congrats Redtail, nice buck.
I got another today, so time to celebrate. I'd like one more before Tuesday. I will be taking a ice chest of meat back to Washington State Tuesday when I go back. I made some deer jerky I will be giving to my two sons.

Congrats redtail, very nice buckaroo.
What a beautiful morning to be out. This is one of the days when they sneak up on you because cant see movement with all the falling snow.

Great opportunity to cut a fresh set of tracks and sneak one down
There were a lot of fresh tracks walking in. The woods are too parcled up here to do a good stalk. The snow fog is rolling in now.

I dont have time to try stalk anything, I have to help one of my sons put some metal roofing down around 9am.
I'm standing on a trail where they cross the road until my son picks me up.there are tracks in my tracks from yesterday.

Next year I will mail back my trail cams so I can see what crosses here and what time they cross.
I will probably mail them back to my son and have my son set them up a week or so before the season opens.

I'm sitting on the patio steps having a cup of coffee and just watched a big old doe wander right thru the killbox about 40 yards to the left of my blind (which is about 40 yards from where I'm sitting).
When does muzzle open?

Just be sure to learn from my cousin’s mistake: don’t fire the muzzleloader through the door of the living room.

It mates up with the standard 5.56 lower. Nice and light, handy, and agile, even an old fudd like me can glide through the woods like smoke through a screen door.

Putting that metal roofing took a lot longer then I thought it was going to take, I just got back to my brothers place. I thought I would of had a couple of hours out in the woods, but it is what it is. All we need to do is cut the hole in the tin roof for the triple wall wood stove pipe, put the seal on and hook up his little wood stove.
I will be sitting by the deer trail again first thing tomorrow morning.

I got out today and saw 8 doe... no doe tag...drat.
I could have shot 4 of them easily. 2 perfect broadside shots not 20 yards away. I watched the two eat for 15 minutes or so. The wind was swirling so every once in a while she would get a sniff of me and stare at me and stomp her feet. I was waiting for her boyfriend who showed up I think out of my sight line. Then they walked off slowly.
All of our deer have had a ton too.

I'm heading back out for a few hours.
I just got in my stand. Very windy but in a good direction.

Nice MilesTeg... Pretty warm here at 38* in south western Albany county
Passing on a doe with a fawn right now. Doe doesnt appear big enough to be worth it.

It is near 40 here and a light rain in harpursville. My Browning 30/06 leaning against a tree with a folded up paper towel on the scope to keep it dry.

I've got a pretty good recipe for venison jerky teriyaki if anyone is interested.
The Teriyaki sauce/marinade is a home brew. PM if you are interested

The one I got was huge too.
The heaviest ive had in 35 years.
I dragged it about 1/4 mile then threw it on the back of one of our Belgian plow horses.

Got in a little while ago, soaked to the skin. hunting a new farm, second trip in, deer sign everywhere. Definitely a sapling breaking monster buck there, hugh feet, scrapes everywhere. Thought I had 115 acres to myself til I still hunted into 3 hunters who had no idea I saw them, not a speck of orange on them while they hunkered in the brush, one had a grunt call that had my anticipation up. No doubt trespassing but I have no authority to ask so i just slithered away. The whole farm is loaded with funnels from field to field to swamp to field & streams. if I don't smash a racker there I'll be friggin shocked. Going to be a long uphill drag through the mud if a cold snap doesn't hit.
