Sunday night it rained a little, good the weather was starting to change.

Woke up Monday morning to a light mist, low cloud ceiling and some light fog, hunted with one of the guys in camp and he put down a good 4x4 buck :IBCOOL:, no field pics as the camera was back at camp  :bash:
Kids got to help at the skinning pole and enjoyed it alot, i had to head back home and hopefully camp will get a few more this week..

So it was a fun and productive but short opening weekend for me...now back over in a few weekends to try and fill that bear tag again... :hello:


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.

Actually if he was hung by the back legs he would be hanging upside down  :dunno:

I always hang by the back legs, some guys by the head, different strokes for different folks....but by the back legs is correct.. :chuckle:

Great story, good job getting the kids involved and that garage buck is awesome.

Thanks for sharing all the details.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Great job!  Nice buck.  Love the smart buck in the garage.  We've got a doe that beds under a pier supported porch up on Marrostone Island.  This guy is way smarter than she is.
