Haven't seen any bow hunting or any hunting threads for that matter. No bow hunting for me likely this year
 . Let me live vicariously through you guys. Post up some photos & stories.

Took JR out for this weekend for the firearms youth season. Camped out Friday night, up early Sat morning. About 8am he had a chance at a little 6 pointer. Took the shot but hit a sapling that caused a miss. Saw a few more deer but they were either running full tilt or we jumped them walking in or out of the woods. We had fun and that's what mattered.

I've been out bowhunting, and seen a few does and fawns. I haven't stuck an arrow in any yet, I will get plenty of deer meat from rifle season.
My daughter shot a doe on Saturday during youth season. It was her third deer, she shot it at 75 yards. |

I got a small slickhead Saturday with my bow and helped work up 5 yute kills ranging from small slickheads to a pretty good 8.

I haven't been in the stand for more than a day so far. Didn't see anything.
Saturday, my son killed his first deer with my AR. We may have made noise or the swirling wind had it on edge, because it stood at full alert for about 5 minutes with only its rump exposed. When it stepped forward, it bedded down. He had to thread the needle by hitting her in the lungs with two big trees covering the head and rump. About 70 yards and it didn't move after the shot. Gave a couple kicks a few moments later. Turned out to be a button buck. I still can't tell those from a doe. Especially in thicker woods. No tracking and a very easy drag to the trail. He could have run down the ravine and made it harder for us. Got about 15 min of video, before and after the shot, with an iKam. You can hear my voice just fine, but if you aren't wearing the glasses other sounds don't get picked up. Very fun day none-the-less. ETA: he had shot the AR with a .22 conversion, but that was his first .223 shot. In a blind and using a tri-pod. Stoney Point ? |

Will be on the 15th
Stuck the game cam by the stand I hunt in with 40 lbs of corn to see whats around and this is what I get

Then this sexy butt came by later on

Talked to a conservation officer the other day about the reduced quota and he said its because of bluetongue from the drought we had. I guess it hit the herd pretty hard. I know I'm not getting as many deer crossing the camera this year. Anyway I'm hoping that 8 point stops by on opening day. |

Couple questions for you guys. I've never deer hunted but I get free land owner permits and do have deer on my property. I've thought many times about bagging one for the meat but have no idea what to do with it after I kill it (yes former city boy, but I'm trying dammit!!!)
So for those of you who have been lucky enough to do this, once you kill it, then what do you do? How does the whole turning it into meat process work? |

Here is the abridged version of my process: Get the slain critter over to the ole man's ASAP (this can sometimes be a few hours), hoist it up off the ground, skin off the hide/remove front hooves above the ankles/cut off head, remove guts and misc. innards. From here on depends on the weather (I don't have a walk-in cooler). If the temperatures aren't getting over 55*ish during the days, with cool nights I'll hang it in the ole man's shop for a few days. If the forecast is calling for weather that is hotter than the hubs of hell, I'll just quarter the critter up, remove the loins, cut any other meat off that is salvageable and ice everything down for a day or two. After this it's just de-boning and packaging. That was really abridged. |

If you make sure to remove all fat, silverskin, and hair off of the meat before cooking, you will take away all the 'gamyenes' of the meat. No one likes the taste of burnt hair, and the fat and silverskin take on the flavor of whatever they have been eating. Acorns, leaves, etc. It's pretty satisfying to get the meat out of the field and onto your table all on your own. Give it a try. PS - Your AR15 with the right bullets, will kill them just fine.

If you ice it down I recommend block ice & letting the cooler drain so the meat doesn't sit in the water. It makes it MUCH easier to cut up when it's not waterlogged & slimy. 2. If you use a refrigerator, make sure air & circulate between the quarter so none of the heat is trapped & meat spoils. And one more little tip...if you call around you can most likely find a locker that will grind your de-boned meat for you |

I don't like the meat to get that watery white look where the outer layer gets a watery gel coating. Glad it works for you and that's all that matters. Like I said before, different strokes for different folks. Happy hunting.

If I have to ice down quarters I normally sprinkle salt in with the ice to help draw blood out. I agree with the panda though, I think it does make the meat slimier when butchering. Not that it really hurts the finished product, but I think it is easier to work up deer that have been hanging as opposed to deer that have been iced down. |

As of Sunday I have 20 days in the woods so far this year. I've had every buck on my cameras in bow range, most multiple times, except for the 6 I will shoot. It's been frustrating not seeing a shooter yet, even if out of range. I do have some very very big ones roaming around though, hopefully I can get a little luck on my side soon.

Dunn's has some Simmons for about $100, may pick one up, I don't need anything fancy. I have been out several times since opening day, I think it's about time I bagged one and tomorrow seems ripe for pickin' |

And it comes easy for me because I can be such a dork . My wife called me that a few minutes ago when I texted her a few pic's of tonight's camp. Good luck out there! |

I returned a Simons that I bought from WalMart. Get the Halo if you can wait for delivery. $129 and it works great. Good luck !!! Have Fun !! ( I'm camping out tonight for tomorrow's hunt. Full Moon is pretty kick ass tonight. ) I'm sorry, because I know I've met you and know what you look like, but I always read your posts as if your avatar is saying them. Hehe, I thought I was the only one!

I've only been able to get out once. Saw several does and a buck from a distance but nothing that came close. Eagerly waiting for next weekend!

I was swaying back and forth like a hippy around a bonfire this morning in my treestand!! Yeah, I had built up this weekend so much and I didn't see squat. I'm sitting in the blind today, hoping to have better luck. When I'm done I'm going for a walk to find a nice tree to sit in. I hate heights but if I want to have any shot around here I gotta get off the ground |

damn Brad.
You get big antlered deer every year !!!! 
kidding. Great Stuff ! And without the training wheels too !!!
I finally got to send an arrow toward a buck of size on Saturday. Maybe 115 -120" Typical... I little past his ears. I always have does, forky's and itty bitty 6-8 pointers within bow range, but Sat. was the first time something of size came in. He turned at the last second behind branches and I was able to draw, anchor, and pick a possible hole to shoot through if he would just step into it. AND HE DID !!!! But... my arrow hit a branch and missed him clean. He was still only about 10-12yards away and I was able to nock another arrow while he was wondering what happened, but he didn't gave me another opportunity before trotting off. so close... <sigh> |
