I won't be around for the reg season opener, but I did get a nice doe on opening day muzzleloader. Great feeling! Beautiful tan coat and very healthy; lots of fat reserves. I butchered it up an just finished grinding the venison burger after letting it age since Saturday night. The outdoor temp was mid forties so a few days aging was enough. The tenerloins went dow real easy. This was an Ellisburg deer in 6G. There appear to be a good number of deer this year, judging from the preseason sightings along the roads. Idon't see as many now,as they are coming out later. Shot mine around 5:40 pm on the 16th.
