For the last 3 years I haven't drug a deer out of the woods even though I have shot 15. This method is great for the liberal doe tag states. I hunt way back in the woods at times where no 4 wheeler, truck, or tractor can get to.When I shoot a deer, I go back to my truck, leave my bow behind, and grab a backpack with a hoist, gambrel, rope, rubber gloves, and a trash bag. Where the deer lies I gut it, tie the hoist to a nearby tree with the rope, lift it, skin it, and bone it, put the meat in a trash bag, and place it in my backpack.
Then theres' this:
Here in IA they just enacted a law that we have to check a deer in by phone or computer before it can be processed for consumption
HC, have you beendoing something wrongfor the last 3 years[&:]?
No Rick. This year is the 1st year that the state required the check in before processing. Just check it in by phone or computer, then process. We don't have check in stations where you physically bring the deer. We just electronically check it in.
