M akin Meat

[Harold Pickens]

Wife reminded me that I did not shoot a deer last year and we were low on venison.
I had passed on several Ohio bucks this season trying for one of the big 10s or the 12 running around on my Ohio farm. Shot this mediocre 8 pt yesterday just before 5 o'clock, no blood in the 6 plus inches of snow, tracked it a while an found 1 drop of blood then another 20 yds ahead, then spotted it down below piled up dead, cant believe there wasn't a heavy blood trail as bullet passed thru taking out both lungs.
Was a real bear of a drag up a damn near vertical hill, and just as hard to get him on the tailgate by myself. Should be a fine eater. Oh, this was muzzle loader season, using an inline 50 cal CVA.

Congratulations Harold,

Always rests a little easier when the freezer has adequate venison for the new year!

[Harold Pickens]

Thanks Stan, the wife likes venison, the rarer the better.

Nice!!
You’re a better man than I am… by a long shot Harold. Such a drag would kill me.
Thank God I still have venison from two earlier deer in my freezer and plenty of moose meat from our October hunt east of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Waiting for the wall-hanger is a frustrating occupation. Congratulations.

Right Craig, I hear those John Deere Gators are pretty decent…

My granddaughter, who lives within sight of my house, has a great low mileage John Deere Gator. One of these days, I hope to talk her into selling it to me.

Nothing against UTV’s as I like them as well but I’ll take an ATV a lot more places than a UTV can go or fit . I probably do some stuff with it driving wise that I shouldn’t but old/lazy tends to bring that on it seems

An atv would not have made it to where this deer dropped, and even with a winch would need 100 yds of cable.
