Title: No trophy but....
Post by: toyman2 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.

WELL DONE!

Post by: toyman2 on November 23, 2015, 02:52:25 PM: 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.

Post by: Mtn.Ghost on November 25, 2015, 06:35:58 PM: Sir, that is a darn fine buck you harvested :tup:
Sure do like those whitetail, a very tasty critter IMO they make the best burger.
Good job on a proud buck.

If you have any questions while your learning to process your own burger or any other things you may like to attempt, sausage, jerky, etc. feel free to shoot me PM anytime you can pick my brain I'm totally into it all.

Since your already going to be grinding you should also give some fresh sausage a go as well, breakfast, italian or flavor you like, bulk, links, brats, good things to try if your a beginner.

Post by: toyman2 on November 30, 2015, 09:18:07 AM: Did 60lbs of burger yesterday, in a couple weeks I will be doing 30lbs of summer sausage.
I really like doing this stuff.

Post by: Shooting Stix on November 30, 2015, 09:47:38 AM: I don't have a whitetail so that would be going to the taxidermist for a shoulder mount so if that's not a trophy let me know when I get back I will a buck the same caliber congrats
