I have been thinning the herd as well. This guy came by early yesterday and ran off 4 does so I let him have it. Still no signs of a big deer here this year. EHD has taken its toll, evidenced by the lack of shooting as well. I keep hoping a traveler will come through but the odds are long. Probably turn to stocking the freezer after the holidays.

It’s a PITA skinning and cutting up without hanging the darn things ! And yes that’s what I’m doing at the moment .

Well the winds blowing like heck today and the forecast says rain all day . Game plan has changed ! I’m gonna get just about everything loaded today then Wednesday morning homeward bound hopefully by 8 AM . It’s 3 1/2 hours back over the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge mountains as well as being the day before Gobble Bird Day so the sooner Wednesday I get started the better .

When I came over here in the warmer months I went by Harrisonburg on 33 all the way to Elkins and as I may have mentioned before that road is like a coiled up snake almost . So sunday I took a different route got on 64 in Charlottesville and took it over to Staunton and then took 250 . In some ways the road was better but you still had curly que roads to travel .

I’ve got most of my stuff loaded up . All I need to do is haul a cooler and duffle out in the AM .
