Deer hunting BS thread

I'm so behind. No stand or camera or feeder/established corn pile even. Haven't stepped foot in the woods with intention to hunt at all this season.
Modern Gun started on Saturday until the 26th. Gonna grab the $40 feeder at Walmart and some corn this weekend. Put it and the camera out then come back next weekend and maybe a weekday or two.

Closing on my house and moving really cut into my usual fall festivities. We have a big buck competition going at work this year, bow only, $20/person and the pot is about $300. I've shot my long bow twice since Jan. 1 2017

 

I always see few when I'm out. I don't know of any that are higher then your knee

 

If they are around it early, they think it's normal. There is plenty of products out to keep them warm. It's really about not letting them get bored, or forcing them to be there.

 

Cut 12 good steaks out of them road kill vack straps and vacuum sealed them suckers up
I feaking love fresh red meat.
Put the rough edge cuts in a Ziploc and ima take it to work and pan sear it for lunch tomorrow
i tried to pair up the steaks as best i could by size

 

are those with the grain butterfly?

 

Umm they are from left to right on the back strap not front to back so... I dont think so

 

just curious not saying right or wrong. Just looks different from mine when I cut...I just could be cutting them badly/wrong? IDK, Im learning myself...

 

I cut straight down in like 4" or so segments, then butterfly across the steak. Im not sure its right either but that seems to end up with a better grained cut for the final product to me. (i was almost, almost a doctor and i feel like my directional terminology should be better, but its not haha)

 

I cut similar to this but butterfly in half inch thick pieces

Yeah that's basically what im doing only a 4" thick steak and then butterflying it so its a larger piece of meat (like surface area i know that cutting something doesnt make it bigger)

 

good looking meal

 

I never complain when a pair gets thawd out around here

 

savage!

Well word on the street was it was gonna be right at freezing this mornin and a storm was moving in this afternoon; gonna say the storm will get here early, cuz it had to be 45° when i got to the stand and the wind has been blowin ~15 mph with no sign of slowing down... Oh and they started feeding hay right next to the stand i was gonna hunt this mornin so there were 40 cows that i spooked into a stampede when i came up on em, so i walked back to my other stand and finally got settled in soaking wet with sweat about 15 mins after daylight...oh but these keep me going on days like today

Let a spike walk. But i think someone over the hill probably got him. Someone shot really close to me about 10 mins after he came through.

My dad is up here at this private land with me and he shot simethig a little bit ago but I haven’t seen or heard from him since so i have no clue what it is. Hopefully it’s the big one I fucked up on.

 

Congrats

 

Yours or your dads? congrats!

 

Is that the 6 point u saw the other day that got spooked and ran off (coyote? It gets hard to keep stories straight sometimes)

 

Dad’s. I got down and helped him get it out.

Nope. The 6 from the other day was smaller than that one.

He gutted him where he fell and I think I’m gonna go sit there this evening and see if i can take out a few Coyotes.
