Took my yearly meat hunting trip and only went after 2 animals this year. I bagged 2 large does (large for my area) that were maybe 100-110lbs.
My brother bagged 1 doe and 1 spike.
Normally I get more animals but my freezers are quite packed so this is what I was happy bagging to fill them back to max capacity for the year.
The meat processing is done which I did this year versus the past couple of years taking it to a trusted processor. Last couple of years I was on a very good contract for work and couldn't justify taking off time to process and it was far less loss of money to take to the processor to just grind it all out versus loosing a week of billable work.
This year was not the case so I did it myself BUT did not do any grinding or sausage making so it went fast in just a couple of days solo.
All the meat is vac sealed in the freezer now with no pics of it. You've all seen tons of vacuum sealed raw meat before. HOWEVER, I have pics of all the wild life shots I took plus a pic of the animals we bagged. I edited us out of the pic and covered up a bit of gore from one of the deer that took a head shot.
It was a great trip and even managed to catch 5 catfish that were at least five pounds in weight at he smallest, my brother caught 2 that are the same story.
I'm luck to be able to do this and very thankful for it all and for the animals that we take off the land.
Here are the pics, enjoy!
YEP they have a white buffalo on the ranch! :D
