May I ask why you killed 20 deer in one year? That seems a bit much no matter how plentiful they are where you live. Also, what did you do with all that meat?

The first 16 were on Damage Control Permits !

I kept the backstraps and tenderloin from just about all of them and gave them to friends etc . The rest of the deer were deboned and my gunsmith buddy grinds it or cubes it all and we cook it at the shop during the week for lunch in variouse ways . Generally we have four or five customers each day there eating lunch with us . So it doesn't take to long to go thru a couple dozen deer .

Matter of fact yesterday (saturday and the last day of the season) I cooked the backstraps from two deer for lunch out in the field for the dozen or so of us hunting the last day together .

I understand your question as I used to hunt your state in the north eastern corner . Generally I would have a buck and two doe tags up there and generally I'd fill them all where as my friends from PA didn't quite have the same luck .

To be honest the twenty I took this year are more then some of my friends up there had taken in their entire life and alot of those guys had hunted for 30+ years .

Twenty may sound like alot to some folks and I suppose it is , but folks who don't hunt Maryland , Virginia and several of the other southern states don't understand . My twenty is a good number but there are ALOT of fellows who take more then that in a year . My usual take for a year is 10-15 . I know several guys here that average well over 30 each year .

I will tell you this , after skinning gutting and cutting up my 20 and my gunsmith buddies six deer I was quite tired of semi processing deer !

Well you need to understand when we got that NID maybe 30-35 years ago it needed a new rustblue and the stock needed a refinish job as the old felow that owned it carried it on his tractor . So when we got that Ithaca seems to me we paid something like $150 for it and maybe another $150 for a nice rustblue and the refinish of the woodwork as well as a new recoil pad .

There is or was a single barrel 10 gauge Crescent Arms gun on one of the net auctions !

Thought I was gonna get my hands on it . But when it exceeded $200 I figured it could go to a better home !

Got a lead on a Baker 10 gauge . Which would be great as I don't have an unblooded 10 gauge thats shootable at the moment .

I got over the turkey hunting thing 20 years ago . But I think I'm gonna give her a go this spring !

Wanna try and plow one bird with my grandfathers old W&C Scott 10 gauge .

Might even go with some other folks that have given me invites over the last few years as I am 2000% sure they call better then I do anymore . I never did master a mouth yelper but got fair to middlin with a Lynch box call and a slate .

Some handloaded 10 gauge 2 7/8" with 1 1/2 ounces of Magnum 4's oughtta do the trick if we can get one within 30 yards of me .

An 8 gauge Lefever , Smith or Parker is large enough for me !

I have an original 10 gauge double barrel ML we've had for about 30 years . Might see about getting that one going with buckshot before next ML season .
