Yep. I'll probably go right after Christmas. Not hunting CO this year, just gonna try for a doe in TX. I've got quite a bit left from last year so I just want 1 doe. I'll pull the straps and loins and keep the steaks from one hind quarter and grind the rest. I'm out of sausage and that is where most of a doe will go.
I went last week but the place I hunt only lets me take does. He sells hunts for bucks so I let them walk. I saw several good bucks but only one doe and she was moving at a pretty fast clip. Our season runs to Feb so I don't take a running shot. Not worth wounding and possibly losing one and I've got time.
Going trout fishing tomorrow. They stocked the local lake. Wish they were wild trout like I grew up catching in CO but this is the best I can do here in TX.
Cheers.
