My two sons and I had a lot going on this year so we didn't get out much during early and regular muzzleloader deer seasons like we'd normally do. We did put a fair bit in the freezers with our lever guns during regular gun season, which we normally do anyway. My oldest son did get a VERY nice 10 point that promptly went to the taxidermist.
Being a CWD management area, fish & game gives us almost three more months of antlerless only late LATE CF rifle season to thin the herd starting this next Sunday. Hardly anybody hunts it thought, including us, for reasons.
Such as we have no interest in killing a pregnant doe half way into March, or killing a GOOD buck that's dropped its antlers. Nope, that stuff ain't happening on this farm CWD management or not.
That leaves yearlings, which I'm fine with putting a couple three of those up for more jerky and summer sausage. But, spring comes early here and with spring comes work that has a timeline to get done. Garden work and tons of winter cleanup mainly.
Thinking though I'm just gonna forego the centerfire rifle during this late late season and take the newest rock lock build out a few times to break it in on a couple of those yearlings. That should have happened last year but didn't. See if I can get that done by mid February or so.
More backstraps, jerky, and sausage are never terrible things.
