Hunting '23/24

[Entropyfx]

I soooo wanted to have a "meat rail" in the shed by this season but it just didn't happen. I'm gonna box in a clean room in the shop (with a loft above) with at least space to cut meat. Hopefully the room gets done by spring and the rest will be easy.

If you do that you better put a cooling unit so you can hang and age em. This is in my long term plan.

Roadkill count? Found a bobcat a couple miles from the house this morning. I have a picture but can’t get it to shrink for some reason

A guy stopped and loaded it up! I was in wife’s car. The season comes in thanksgiving day through March 1st.

Gun season #2/ four days and first 4 days of ML opens tomorrow. Looks like it'll be fairly warm with a front/rain moving in. Hoping for some shake up tomorrow first half of the day. Rain through Thursday night and early Friday. Tapers off early Friday so maybe some big boys will get on their feet after the rain Fri.

I'm itching to bloody that 45/70.

Yesterday morning I caught a glimpse of a mature buck giving a fawn an antler ride through the brush before he got back to tending his doe and headed her back south. Other than that, I've seen nothing.

Out with the 450 this morning, ready to thump something.

3 solid days of seeing nothing, I sat today in the recliner. The deer went fully nocturnal, lots of activity before daylight and after dark. So I give 'em some space and they'll have to deal with the ML next weekend.

Hoping the action picks back up a bit in my honey hole. I need one more for the freezer and ain't real cracked on late winter hunting. I might have a standing bean field to hunt if it comes to that, though.

It was cooler than it was 2 weeks ago, but not by much. Highs were in the 50's.

Dealing with the same thing steadfast. Haven't seen deer all week during daylight. But they're all over the trail cameras at night.

Borrowed view for this evening. Standing beans ain't too shabby when it's wet. Hope they're hungry cuz I'm done for the year at dark.

 

[Mattsn]

Good luck. I haven't seen a shooter all season
