Nice whitetail on cam and almost, just almost: Recap
« on: September 22, 2014, 10:14:10 AM »
So, brother in law and I are at camp. Hunting out and around Tonasket. We've got a little bait laid out. Come cob, some apples, bit of 'falfa. Have had three chances so far. Last night doing a little exploring and road hunting we could have arrowed a fat old doe at 30 or 40 depending on where she was. This morning we bumped a doe driving out of our spot. She was at 15 yards and just standing there. We passed. Got into the blind this morning and had deer feeding in the dark. The buck shown below I'm 95% sure was there this morning.

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Had a nice evening hunt. We had a big white tail doe and her yearling at 15 yards for ten plus minutes. We were antsy, but we passed. Back at it before sun up in the am. Pics of the lucky girl tomorrow. However, she comes back we may not let her walk.

Nice buck, I hope he comes back during shooting hours. Good luck to both of you.

Connection is super slow here. If Drock wouldn't mind...please post up the pics for me. Also, if anyone can give me the basics on how to change a blade on a havalon I'd appreciate it. Don't want to injure myself.

Changing a Havalon blade: 

1) hold the handle firmly in your right hand as if to make an incision. 

2) walk to a garbage can and drop the apparatus into the can

3) get a blade that doesn't snap like a toothpick - blade successfully changed


H2O, congrats man.  I can't wait for pictures.
