My hat's off to you and everyone else who bow hunts.Well, @Atla , the wait is over. In the final minutes, of the final day of regular deer season I have finally gotten on the board. Had a group of does come in with 15 minutes of legal light left and hang out at 50 yards. After patiently waiting with bow in hand for them to come on to the 30 yard mark, with 5 minutes left I finally let go of my stubbornness and grabbed the 30-30 off the hook. Even though I'd made peace with tag soup, it's nice to get one.

Man it's been a long but fun season. I've had the most fun bow hunting this year that I've had in a lot of years. But yea, it's hard to beat the ol 30-30 sometimes.My hat's off to you and everyone else who bow hunts.
That's a skill I don't have the patience to master.
But nothing like a good rifle. Especially in 30-30!
Yea we will see how this goes. Munchkin was driving me up the wall to do something with it. So we made some "quick" jerky to appease him lol.When I make venison jerky, I'll let it sit for a day in the fridge to firm up, lot easier to slice thinly. I usually let it marinate(once its cut) for 2-3 days in the fridge and then I dry it my oven with the door cracked at the lowest heat setting 8 hrs or so. Makes the house smell amazing.
I typically make my own marinade, usually black pepper/garlic, worcestershire sauce, salt, dash of liquid smoke etc. It doesn't last long at all.
It’s pretty cool watching a good dog work. My grandpa trained bird dogs. It was amazing how good he could make some of them. He had one that was a show winner. I’m certain that dog would have driven the truck to the hunting land if grandpa would have taught him. On the flip side. Them bird dogs could be some mean sob’s.Day one of my "staycation" in the books. Cold, dry and not alot of birds but we knocked a few down and I could watch tilley putting the pieces together with each one.
We probably walked 10 miles today. GPS only showed what we hunted with just her.
My little girl is as sweet as can be. But she's pretty serious about these birds and the pieces are starting to line up and light bulbs going off. Pen raised birds can only do so much to train one.It’s pretty cool watching a good dog work. My grandpa trained bird dogs. It was amazing how good he could make some of them.

Still game if you want to combine forces...I'm just saying!They are already starting to shed up here. But I’m still seeing them with racks as well. Usually I start walking towards the end of February. But we do occasionally find them rabbit hunting as well.
Yea. Give me a few weeks and I will get in touch with you. Actually had a buck drop his horns in front of 1 of my cams. Ran before work and picked up. Got 3 so far without really doing any walking.Still game if you want to combine forces...I'm just saying!
I've ramped up the shed hunting practice with the pup and was planning on getting in the woods around the end of February. I talked to a local guy that has a 1,500ac hunting lease in Franklin county...hopefully that one works out.
For anyone out there close to and/or between Stanly & Granville county that has some land you wouldn't mind me & a hyper puppy walking around on looking for shed antlers & dead heads...let me know!

I could feed my family for the foreseeable future with the amount that are around my house. They’re everywhere.Took the boys out for some chicken of the trees. Took my grandpa's Ruger single six and JC Higgins shotgun. Hadn't squirrel hunted with a pistol, but it was pretty fun. Got the first one at roughly 30 yards with the single six with 6 1/2" barrel and irons.
