Hunting And Fishing Thread!?!

[mike243]

I have loved muzzle loaders since the mid 80’s when I started taking deer hunting seriously, killed my first with a H&R inline which was better than side locks imo, that was borrowed have only owned new CVA’s up until I bought the Savage, love the no cleaning till I want to no crud ring ect. Some folks are trying to get them to pass straight wall to take the place of ML, if yhey do that might as well make it pick a weapon here’s the dates and the limits, traditions mean nothing to some folks

Well said mike243 –im not against any weapons….i just like the old stuff. Sometimes I use the new stuff too. Our rifle opens the 15th and I’ll be toting a .270 looking for this guy

Just a 4pt but has some piebald genes, white on the feet and a black tail, has a black streak all the way up the back, something you don't see every day.

Took us to the last day as the weather here has been unseasonably warm… we generally depend on the cold and snowy weather to push them down to wintering grounds… and catch them coming thru. However and thankfully… we did end up on this elk hunt filling 3 of 4 tags. Very thankful to have some meat in the freezer!

We got them all taken care of and loaded. Hanging tonight and our fam friend is a butcher that will have room for them tomorrow around noon. Thanks for lookin all!

Very nice Justin that should hopefully give your family meat for awhile beef prices are crazy and I've read gonna get a lot worse

I haven't hunted for many years. But when I did, there was a small, local grocery store in Winthrop, WA, where the butcher would process folks deer at night after close. He charged to $100 to cut steaks & roasts, grind the rest with some beef tallow, and wrap everything nicely in white butcher paper. Then it would be waiting for you the next day, frozen, in a cardboard box. (As I said, this was some time ago, 1980's-90's.)
That caused me to wonder how many places like this are left where you can get game processed? We had a small butcher shop outside of Edmonds, WA that would do this too, but he closed down at least 30 years ago.

Awesome Justin, been warmer than usual here too. My season starts Wednesday, so we'll see how it goes with no snow

This is still quite common in Arkansas. Ranging from established butcher shops to part timers who only open for business during hunting season and vacation or work other jobs the rest of the year.

Lots of places in Alabama.

Finally gonna get so.e time in the woods come first weekend of December.
Gonna go enjoy the quiet solitude of a stand or house the 6th, 7th and 8t.
I sure do hope it cools back down by then.

And who knows, might even take a deer or hog.
