No trophy but....
« on: November 23, 2015, 11:16:37 AM »
Here is my late buck. I am no trophy hunter.
I waited some, I saw several normally shooters. I have a hard time holding out for the mashers, I would rather have a full freezer.
We filled 4 of 5 tags this year, not a bad year.

Nice looking buck congrats! Any animal you take in fair chase is a trophy in my book. Hunting isn't easy!

That's a beauty. You should be proud. I'm eating pork cutlets, not venison tonight.

No reason to make excuses. A legal harvest is a legal harvest, and food on the table trumps all the rest of the pointy stuff.  That is a damn fine deer, one I would shoot every time if able to get myself an ethical shot opportunity.

WELL DONE!

Sorry didn't mean it to sound like excuses. I am pretty happy with him.
I know there are some whoopers out there, I just couldn't pass on him.
All in all it was a great year for the family in hunting. First year for me to grind and make my own burger.
