Today’s harvest (Not for weenies)

[Piping Abe]

odd morning of being frozen in place for 30 minutes straight because of does and young of the year about to bust me. all the while the centerfire jackass touching off rounds a valley over (it's blackpowder till mid November in my zone).

In hindsight don't know if i'd shot this guy but had a small window as he was working scrapes through laurel and rhododendron. shot was slight quarter toward and uphill. got back of heart, one lung, liver and reticulum due to angle. best of all it was a quick clean kill and now i've refreshed my venison stash.

I will be picky on antlered deer if another shot comes otherwise will take a couple does late season.

exit wound and how he fell


entry wound (taken after recovery)

Save me the backstraps

Duck is delicious. 🍽

Sure is @Tsal hes hanging as we speak. It’s in the upper 30s and I read somewhere to age your ducks for a day or 2 for better flavor. He’s gonna get plucked and dressed tomorrow wish me luck I’ve only ever breasted them out but I’m sick of wasting all that tasty skin.

I like to Confit the legs. Cassoulet is one of my favorites.

Here you go, send this to your secret Santa, when not smashing duck parts you could press some tobacco!

That is a hardcore item that belongs in every French kitchen if you like making sauces or consider yourself a Saucier.

I’ve been known to hit the sauce but I’ll pass on that one! Lol

Got a buck opening day of bow last month.
Today I got a doe at 6:50 am opening day of regular season.
Sunrise isnt until 7:11, but we can now shoot 30 minutes before sunrise. Good thing or she would have been gone. Another doe froze when the first hit the ground....could have had her.
Base of the skull shot at 30 yards.
Sort of grsphic but not bad from this angle.
Very big doe....well over 130 pounds dressed.

Thats what she said.

But yes, she is a thick girl.

Luckily I got her 100 yards behind our house.

Second week of small game and I still haven't had time to go out. Definitely Thanksgiving morning though, my son's are looking forward to it.
