Better Late Than Never
Well, I finally tagged one today. I didn't know if it was going to happen for me this year, luck just hasn't been on my side in the hunting department. This young buck just couldn't stay off the corn pile though now that we've finally gotten our typical January weather here in Ohio. My crossbow sent him a 100 grain Grim Reaper expandable broadhead to the armpit and I "watched him drop". He only made it about 35 yards. 5 tiny points, but he's a pretty good size, long deer. Happy to have him!

Outstanding! That is a heavy looking fellow! Nice tractor too!
Funny how we all hunt whitetails so early & late during the year nowadays!

Re: Better Late Than Never
A game warden told me I can get a permit to use a utility vehicle to hunt with do to the prosthetic leg. So maybe next year I can try for a deer. I just can't handle the uneven ground. Maybe that will change by next year and I won't need the vehicle. I would prefer that.

Re: Better Late Than Never
What you describe above is allowed in Texas. You can actually hunt from the UV. Recovering the critter would be the tough thing but there ought to be someone willing to help with that.Steve wrote:A game warden told me I can get a permit to use a utility vehicle to hunt with do to the prosthetic leg.

Re: Better Late Than Never
Thanks. Well the back straps will be turned into deer bacon for sure. Made just like Canadian bacon, which is super easy. It's as good as venison gets in my opinion. The rest is up in the air at this point. I've been dabbling this past year in Michael Ruhlman's book "Charcuterie", which instructs on dry curing meats and making sausages, the old school way. Everything I've made from the book has been excellent.
The temperatures this week where I'm at will be mid thirties during the days, and mid twenties at night. According to Brad Lockwood's video (former president of the Pennsylvania Association of Meat Packers) if you can let deer hang in those temperatures for a week to ten days your venison will be more tender and less gamey. My father and I have done it with our deer for the past 4 years, and its true. So anyway, I've got a little while yet to narrow down the specifics on what I'll turn it into.
Maybe I should start a thread on what everyone likes to do with their venison. It would be be an interesting topic.

Re: Better Late Than Never
1950-ish McCormick Farmall H? I gotta know. Also need to know what the extra bracket is used for but a wider pic would help.

Re: Better Late Than Never
Thatd be my 1942 Farmall H. The bracket is for a trip bucket front end loader which I currently do not use. If you look hard enough at the deer picture youll see a Farmall Cub hidden behind the deer and a step ladder.
