birddog Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 Post your Whitetail photos of this season here. I didn't bag a Buck this season yet but, was thinking a photo gallery would be a good idea so we could share our successes, frustrations or point blank missed opportunities. Post at will! Quote
birddog Posted December 16, 2003 Author Posted December 16, 2003 Good question.... haha I'll find out tho Quote
Benelli Southpaw Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 I took a big swing and a miss (*twice) with my first deer of the season, a small doe, or maybe a nubbin' buck, but i whiffed it good with my model 7, and haven't been back, that was a month ago. I should go back though and get my spirits up. Quote
birddog Posted December 31, 2003 Author Posted December 31, 2003 I hear ya lefty ... get back out there and harvest one or two, or three ..... HAHA Quote
Benelli Southpaw Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 I finally got me one the other day, i'm not saying how big she was, but i got one, and it fried up nice and juicy, time to focus on my woodies and gobblers now. Quote
birddog Posted January 5, 2004 Author Posted January 5, 2004 congrats lefty ... sounds awesome!! You've gotta love fresh venison!! Like my father in law told me after I took a couple of does on the last day of rifle season after hunting all week w/o a clean shot at a mature Buck, .."Horns make really thin soup!". Mark it up as population/herd control! Plus, if you shoot the spots off them they taste better!! HAHA Quote
Benelli Southpaw Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 that is very true, horns do make thin soup, but i would shoot a doe over a buck any day unless i was going to mount it, those bucks are just too strong to me, i don't care how much salt you put on em. any tips on how to draw out some of the gameyness??

birddog Posted January 11, 2004 Author Posted January 11, 2004 A heavy brine of pickling salt and garlic powder. Soak for 24hrs. this will pull out a lot of the blood on steaks and chops. Then grill on a HOT bed of coals or HI on gas!!! Grilling will keep the meat from cooking in it's own juices... one thing to remember is not to overcook it. like liver .. it has a tendency to toughen up from being so lean if over cooked and if it's cut wrong... watch out. If I'm cooking meat from a full rut swollen buck... I just cut the backstraps out and grind the rest for sausage and burger meat... but thats me. I'm not a fan of pungent venison either.

caseyquimby Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Here is a picture of one I killed this past season. I killed him with my 870 Supermag w/ a 24" fully rifled barrel, 3.5x scope, and shooting Barnes Expander slugs. Stone dead at 30 yds. Shot him in the throat. 10 pts. and 240 lbs. http://home.ripway.com/2003-12/42694/Buck1.JPG Casey [ 01-28-2004, 01:23 PM: Message edited by: caseyquimby ] Quote

birddog Posted February 4, 2004 Author Posted February 4, 2004 cool beans ... sounds like he didn't know what hit 'em too ... 30yrds is a good range... were ya shakin' a bit? Quote
fishmax2 Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Note: That blood spot on back hip is not where she was shot. That is from when I had it laying and field dressing. Quote
Nick_Navarro1414 Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 nice deer. how much it weigh? and what kind of gun is that? Quote
fishmax2 Posted February 28, 2004 Posted February 28, 2004 185lb dressed. Biggest doe to date. A H&R ultra varmint. .243. Fed 210 primer, IMR4350 40.1 grains. Bullet was 100grain hornady SPBT. Quote
69beers Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Not the biggest buck in the woods, but not bad either. This is the first kill logged with my SBE in the slug configuration. It was taken from Hocking County, Ohio, at 30 yards with a Winchester Partition Gold slug. One shot, one kill. Quote
