The past several years I only take one buck. That's all the tags I had as I didn't buy doe tags. They didn't need taken in my honey hole.

Last year with my injury. Matt (Rick James) offered me a ground blind and a shot at a mature doe which I gladly appreciated and took up. We hunted and I arrowed the exact doe he wanted me to target with him looking over my shoulder. Both that doe and the buck I took were made into bologna.

This year, I again Matt offered me a hunt as well as twildasin. I have 2 doe tags and my buck in PA. I also have a IL buck tag and probably will be picking up a doe tag. I have 6 tags for NC which I didn't fill any.

So in short, I'm probably going to take several more deer this year than I have in the past, at least that's my goal. I usually only make bologna as I'm the only one in my household who eats steaks or venison meat in general. My wife however does eat the bologna so that is what I make.

If I want a steak, she buys me Porterhouses and the like. I love beef, pork, chicken and more. She keeps me stocked so this year, along with the bologna I'm going to have my mother can some venison. I love canned venison and it's been years since I've had it. I make BBQ out of it and it's to die for. MMMMmmmmm The season starts this Sat.
