Anybody know a good taxidermist? I caught this monster the other day.

you could catch more that size and smoke them and have some Bass sardines!

We actually caught 5 or 6 that size.

Last year's buck looks awesome!

The wife got me some processing equipment for Christmas so I had to try out the dehydrator on the buck.

I still need to boil him one more time and then color the skull a little and the euro should be done.

6 tray dehydrator from Meat your Maker. I recommend @Jody Treadway for the manual sausage stuffer though.

Put up a new ladder stand with my son last week since my old one was rotten. Picked up a doe this afternoon for the freezer.

Geez dude, next time take the collar off before you brag.

Not sure how far you had to drag her but crossing her legs behind her ears makes it much easier to drag her.

I saw one at RK where instead of side by side, each seat was pointed maybe 30* away from each other. I need to get a few more stands and considering my grandson for future hunts.

I seen a tripod one at academy that both seats faced opposite directions, You were still side by side but you were kind of looking at each other and the whole bench swivels. I thought that was a pretty cool design. Would be a really nice cutover or open field stand.

I should probably buy a lottery ticket today. Dropped a 10 and an 8 point this morning. Shot the 8. Walking to retrieve it and the 10 steps out to see what’s happening. Dropped him too. They were on 2 doe. Second rut is on. Also, a TJ is not a practical hunting vehicle.

Congrats man! That’s a helluva day

 

[awheelterd]

That's awesome man! Looks like you got extra lucky on the 8'! 1/2" higher any you wouldn't have had him!

Your right. He was on the move left to right. I had to get him quick. I’ve been trying to aim a little higher this year. I shoulder punched 3 last year and they all ran a little before dropping. I adjusted a little high on the shoulder this year and they’ve been dropping where I hit em.

Hell I've put deer in the trunk of an Accord...just keep a cheap tarp on hand!

Congrats on the double up!
