    Don't freak out about meat in the sun. They were already cool and just hung to dry a bit in 35F after getting cleaned up.

    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    I had a fun hunt with my 8 and 6 year old tonight. We went for a 1/2 mile walk in 30 degree Temps, both of them were sniffling when we got back to the truck. We decided to head to the house, and on the way out a good group of does were out in the field on state land. We went around the corner and this guy was standing out at the edge of them. He was nice enough to let me get out of the truck, get my rifle out its case in the back, and walk into the field to sit down and get situated. A couple does spooked, but he stood there at about 100 yards. One Partition from my .308 did the trick. I feel like I may have to change my screen name as this is the second animal I have taken with this rifle. My poor Encore was at home in the safe.

    He's a beauty. How were the kids handling the process?

    They love it. They have been around it since we have livestock and do a lot of our own processing. There is something about the venison my 6 year old loves. He still remembers my wife's deer from last year and eating the jerky. When it was ready, he would go in and swipe it out of the dehydrator.

    Be nice to him. He'll drop the antlers soon and come back next fall just in time for a steak fry.

    You could spray your trees with a soap/ammonia solution or other deer repellant. I've done that twice recently and so far it's kept the moose moving through rather than chewing the aspen trees. Too much snow here for deer now....

    I sprayed my trees today, but it is snowing heavy so it will probably wash the spray of.
    He sure does tear up a lot.
