I personally think it would look better as a shoulder mount

@Meatball 😂😂 yea the only thing could have possibly gone better would be if I struck him in the lungs! I felt so cool

Got some serious girth to those beams

Yea mom said no to the shoulder mount and we know someone who was willing to do it for free so we decided it was better than nothing

😂

U are cool! Takes a real hunter to track a gut shot. That's no simple task. Seriously very impressed.

Thank you!

I thought the trail ran cold for awhile but then I found where he took a pause and there was just a puddle of blood

I know grown men that have given up on gut shots, even lung shots because the trail wasn't what they were expecting. I'd find the corpse a day or two later, torn apart by coyotes and buzzards, or sometimes intact

Well I guess im just too stubborn to let it go without getting some deer sausage out of the deal 😂

Darn right! I just had some spicy deer sausage for lunch today lmao

Nothing beats good deer sausage

Very true

My processor does a jalapeño cheddar sommer sausage that will hurt ya. Can't stop eating lol

Do yall process your own or have a place u like to take it?

Thats what ours does!! Only $3 per lb so couldn't pass that up

Oh no we aren't as experienced and don't wont to ruin it

But we do feild dress them ourselves

It's really not difficult if ya have the equipment, it's just a matter of mixing the spices

But yeh u need a place to do it, and equipment, and it'll take time to get it right

Heck yeah, u get ur face paint on?

Get good and bloody?

I remember my first deer my dad wouldn't let me go without war paint lol

Yea but not on purpose 😂
Dad sprayed it down with a hose at the perfect angle to douse me in warm sticky blood

Nice

Well see? It's not just tradition, it's inevitable. It was meant to be!

Lol

Facts lol

Part of life i guess

Oh yeah. If ya wanna eat good meats, gotta get bloody

Very nice buck👍

Ha yea came home and mom refused to let us in till we cleaned up

@Winnie37a thanks!

I still haven’t killed one but that is mostly because the hunting land we lease doesn’t have many deer or the ones it does have come out at night

Could’ve killed 1 buck and about 4 does by now but either didn’t have a good shot or they had fawns

Yea the land i was on was just wild with deer and its the start of rut season where they are all stupid for mating season so they'll walk right up to ya

Our rut just died down, bout time for the second wave, which they still move just not as hard as the initial rut

Rut is in like 2 weeks here 😂

Cool

Thats the best time for hunting

The meat taste different tho
