Called in an old buck for my brother this morning, has a typical 4 point on the left side and just a split main beam on the right. Very unique deer and another memorable hunt in the books

Little surprised to see some of the bigger mule deer already hanging with the doe herds. Normally they rut a bit later then the WT but were definitely showing plenty of activity at this point.

My youngest went out on his own spot and stalk hunting and was successful. Makes a dad proud.

What's cool is he was with my archery buck in august.

Well after three days, a few limits of pheasants, and sore eyes from glassing, we’re zero’d for three bucks. Probably seen 40-50 does and fawns, two spikers, a basket, and a 4x that I about smoked with the pickup at 6:30am. The rut is definitely not on in 3A1. No bucks chasing does, nothing herded up, lots of pairs (doe / fawn) and zero bucks. Hopefully better luck next weekend!

Watched the battle of the 98# weaklings this AM. A spike and a nearly-as-small basket-racked deer w/nubbin points were full-on fighting and making a ruckus.

Good looking sausage BW!

Thanks! Got the meat off the animal and on ice within a couple hours. Spent 6 to 7 hours today meticulously removing silver skin and dicing it up for grinding. 35# of lean, clean, and well-cared-for venison. This year’s sausage could be superb if other variables fall into place.

One of the worst opening weekend I can recall did not hunt Friday and both Saturday & Sunday were miserable. 4D slipping and sliding while walking on snot all day Saturday and then snow wind and cold on Sunday.
