Ran into this for the first time ever and my lack of preperation in the matter resulted in a 70.00 locker bill for me and about 110 for my nephew.
I plan to build a walk in in the next week or so. I bet this will be the last warm season of my life but I will have a walk in....
I didnn't hunt this morning cause I diddn't want to incur another locker bill for a meat doe. For the next 70 bucks I can build a small walk in.
I got a 6 point, little basket rack nothing to brag about. My nephew on the other hand sat over a scrape all day and about 20 min of shooting time left pow, 10 point buck with one of the prettiest racks I have ever seen. Around here by the time gun season comes in the rut is in full swing, Fighting bucks usualy mean broken up racks. This year they have just started rubbing trees and being somewhat reliale showing up at scrapes. I will put up a picture of his later today,,,, Mine wasn't worth photographing...
Later today I hope to mix my entire deer in summer sausage... Next deer we will get some steaks in the freezer..
