Man, im on a bit of a dry spell this year. Having no luck filling my deer (antlered) tag late season. LaCygne, and Hillsdale, have yet to show me any love and im anxious to try out my Magus Buzzcuts. :-) [Reply]

Yeah, he just posted to his flickr stream, and I shared it up here. That was the comment I left though, "Ducks or geese?" As for an invite, I'm afraid it's all private. [Reply]

I'd say the guy has a few ducks.
Looks like mostly Snow Geese, Speckle Bellies and Blues [Reply]
Had pretty good luck this last weekend. Went up home for second doe only season. Holy shit the population is still damn near out of control. I swear we saw several field that couldn't have had less than 50 or 60 deer. And in several fields there must have been close to 100. Took my pheasant hunting buddy up with me, and he ended up bagging his first deer ever. Little bitty bitch, but he was pumped up getting his first. He had a blast and is already begging me to take him for buck season next year. I made him clean his own, and he jumped right in there and got it done. He was mighty proud of that little greyhound... I mean doe.
At the end of the weekend, we had 17 deer hanging in the shed. 5 of them were from the previous hunt, but a dozen deer for the weekend isn't too bad. That should give us plenty of meat for the year.
Here's a pic of most of them hanging in the shed. Eventually we ran out of room to hang them. Yes they are all legally tagged.
I'm guessing you don't need a jerkey making machine like myself. Any man who has that many turds hangin in the barn has his own dehydrater and family recipe. [Reply]

Yeah... I've got a good dehydrator that doesn't provide heat. It works very well for jerky. I'm excited to get the damn things processed so I can get to making some already. I ran out of deer meat earlier than normal this last year. Didn't want to make that mistake this year....
We're hauling them all down to my uncle's place to process them in a week or so. My family does all our own processing. Getting pretty fancy these days with an industrial grinder, nice table saw, etc. We'll hack through these deer in one drunken afternoon I'm sure. Usually uncle breaks out the moonshine when we're processing. Somehow no one has lost any fingers yet.... [Reply]
