Wow, really? You go to "The Deer Man"?? Small world!

Originally, my brother-in-law was going to call some of his buddies and we'd all butcher up my deer, but my sister said no. So, I looked up The Deer Man (aka Joe Leonard) at The Farmer's Place, called them up and took my deer to them first thing in the morning.

There are so many deer in central New York... They gave me tag/receipt #204 for my deer. The place was slamming when I took my deer to them. It was like a revolving door with pickup trucks coming and going with deer in the pickup bed, over and over and over.

Since I was out-of-state, they put a "rush order" on my deer, so I could have it in time for when I headed back to Virginia. I was also the farthest non-resident that they processed deer for (they've done deer for NJ, MA, and CT residents, but not VA).

Anyway, I want to go back up to NY, back up to 7M in Madison County and try to find that monster 10 pointer that all the locals were talking about. I didn't see him when I was there, but I did see huge buck tracks. Hopefully he'll be there next year!
