I brown them in olive oil, butter, a little garlic and onion powder.
Right at the point when they are brown all over, I take a sharp knife
and butterfly them down the middle and turn the opening into the hot olive oil
for just a minute. Yank them off the heat and eat 'em.
Oh, yum yum butterum.

Congrats on the kill..I am still waiting to do that with a ML.

me too, livbucks, i am only seeing doe ,no bucks. i seen 2 bucks first week of season but with 3 point to 1 side rule here now in pa. they got away. i like the AR here in pa.open sights is fun and 1 shot is too, then throw in the AR here in pa. more fun. i am about the only one hunting with flintlock in regular season.i am still hunting for buck as i dont kill doe.its hard now to see buck with horns but you never know. take care.

Keep your chin up Sproulman,
I see bachelor groups with racks in early March almost every year, so there are some with horns on their heads right now.
The little bucks are the ones to drop early, at least where I live.
The rut is over so they are back to laying low during daylight now. I see the bachelor groups usually on the first sunny, still day in March on the hill across from my Dad's place. They apparently like the warm sun on the ridge after a long winter.

i saw 8 point today killed by friends.nice rack too.it was raining all day ,so i did not go and getting tired,you know what i mean. boy, i have woods all to myself here. not many tracks. its getting like hunting in maine here in 2g wmu,very few deer.take care.

I know,
The bucks aren't moving and nobody to push them. Makes it tough.
I have not been out on account of the rain. I used my buck tag so
if I go I will be taking my son to do the flinter shooting. I will just
do the loading and stuff. Makes no diff to me though as I would be
even happier to see him get one with a flintlock before me. Plus,
he can take any buck with horns on account of being a junior hunter.
I have a doe tag but don't really care to take one. I have alot of meat now as it is. I don't really care all that much to take a doe, I just got
a tag for an excuse to go sit in the woods if a nice day presents itself.
Gotta keep my options openya know?

congrats did you shoot her with that lesh just kidding nice job

Congrats, nice Doe there and a dandy eater I am sure.

Igot my second deer with a smoke pole the last day of ML season here, it sure is addicting.

I was waiting for a Buck being as I had already shot a nice Doe, but late in the day the only thing I had to choose from were two big yearlings. They both presented themselves in front of me for over 15 mins before I decided to go ahead and take one as I may not get another chance, less than an hour to sunset. They had milled around from about 100 yards out to less than 30 yards when I took the shot. Being a meat hunter I popped him right in the back of the head, he never even twitched a muscle. I was sure onehad knots on his head so I shot the other, turns out he did too.

I really dont like to take button bucks, ya never know what they might be in a few years but I am sure he will be a tasty eater.

Again congrats on your hunting experience!

I'm curious about the bullet in the neck. Was that your bullet that traveled there or was it someone else's bullet? Where did that bullet in the neck enter from?

I'm asking because I have shot a lot of deer in the neck and the results have always been instantaneous and that is much higher shot than I usually take.

Thanks
Tom

it wasnt really in the neck i just said that it was in the shoulder. i shot that deer on a hill it went in behind the shoulder on one side took out the heart and one lung and stopped in the other shoulder a little higher on the other side.
dem

congrats ,awsome job with the smokepole,
