Shotgun season is this weekend. I'll be walking my 5-10 miles and hopefully kill something worth sharing.
Bow season was brutal for me this year.
A friend killed 2 bucks in 2 states within 2 weeks over 177"....with a tag for Wisconsin left. He's just being doing that to be mean. [Reply]

That's a big ass rack. Not that big of an animal, but giant rack.
While on the combine out here, I saw a couple just HUGE animals with these rediculously small racks. They looked rather comical. [Reply]

Had a pretty decent weekend. Got a buck and 2 doe myself. That'll make for some meat in the freezer for sure. Jerky time bitches...
It was pretty tough hunting though. There were still 3-4' snow drifts in North Central KS, so quite a few of the roads weren't passable. I had to drag the buck 3/4 of a mile to get to the pickup. Damn near killed me dragging the fucker through the snow drifts. By the end, I was stopping every 50 feet or so to catch my breath/keep from passing out. I'm sure as hell getting a game cart for next year.
Heading out for more during January doe season. I've got tags for at least 2 more doe I'm getting for friends of mine who can't hunt. As many doe as we saw this season, I don't think it will be much of a problem. [Reply]

Holy shit dude, that's quite a bit of a hike for a little dude like you (or a big dude like me).
Nice take.
FWIW, game carts are definitely worth the money, as you found out... [Reply]
Carry a visqueen sheet with you. Get the thickest you can and fold up a 6x8 sheet in your pack. fold in half tie a rope to the 2 front corners tie sides over the top of your deer and you are golden. works great [Reply]

fish...a plastic sled would work better than a wheeled game cart in the snow....just saying.
