I mean if you don't find it right away. Not unusual for it to be 80+ here.
Glad to hear someone else butchers their own--we've never taken a deer to a processor. My dad taught my brother and me how to skin and process our own deer, hogs, squirrels, birds, fish, etc. I thought it was the craziest thing the first time I saw a place advertising deer processing.
I've taken two to the processor years ago; you just never know who's deer you're getting back. I've seen some pretty sickly looking animals processed.
I hunted last week for five days and passed on two young bucks. I'll head out tomorrow or the next day, it's supposed to pour buckets this week end in West Texas I'd like to get some hunting in before the monsoon, there's one buck running around the ranch that is really nice. Not sure if I'll take any does this years off the ranch the doe ratio is not real good. I still have meat in the freezer from last year.
