Glad I have a grinder and everything to go with it. Will definitely make me think twice if I know I’m short on time before I pull the trigger.

I plan on putting a lot of meat in the freezer this year. Looks like I'll be processing some myself. I don't have a grinder but I can quarter and cut steaks and stew meat along with the straps.

Boys…Been more than 20 yrs since I’ve sat in a stand for opening day of archery. With an east wind n cooler temps I came to the farm this afternoon with intentions of a morning sit.
We will see if the urge is till there in the morn. Brooks is out in CO chasing critters so just pops here for opening day.

Good luck AC, pouring rain here in Buford as I type this and has been since about 3 am. Sitting this weekend out, too wet for this ole boy. Be down next weekend as weather looks nicer at the moment.

Woke up to rain this morn at the farm. Made a pot of coffee n sat on front porch.
That's quite often better and more relaxing than sitting in a stand.
You shoot a good group with that trad equipment, BTW.

Triple C, watching the rain from that covered porch is nothing short of fantastic ;-). What a great view. Hope ole Brooks is having some luck out West!

Deer season couldn't have started even better for me and I haven't even been yet ?.
My Venezuelan friend Ronald has been ate up with the outdoors ever since I introduced him to it. He missed 2 last year with a crossbow but had very limited time to hunt . This year he can about hunt every afternoon during the week and any weekend. He bought a used bear bow and we've been practicing all summer. We put him a stand up here on my property at my house near my feeder. Yesterday afternoon the wind was right so he came over for his 1st hunt here. He passed on some fawns early and then around 530 he had a big , mature doe come In. He made a great shot on her at 25 yards!! I made him blood trail her and when he would lose it I made him really look for it . I told him I wouldn't always be there to find them. I could tell by the blood that she wasn't going far. After 100 yard trail we spotted her! It was awesome to see the excitement on his face. Now he says he's holding out for a buck bigger then a 4 pointer ?
Here is a vid of us walking up on her...

Good stuff right there Brandon, I know you been trying to get him a deer for several years now. That first one is the toughest, gets a lot easier now. Our hunting community gets smaller every year from what I hear, way to bring someone new into the sport.

Hope you all have been well. Been a while since I posted here but now the seasons kicked off I will be a little more regular. Got our plots planted the last weekend in Aug. they are up and looking good. Hoping we can keep getting consistent rains so they’ll be in good shape. Haven’t had any good bucks on camera yet, but I think most of them are holding up in the property next door thats got corn on it. Once the farmer cuts it and we creep towards Oct. im hopeful ill get some good deer on camera. Looking forward to seeing how the season unfolds. Heres some pics of the plots.
