he probably will get run through the grinder. I have 10 doe tags left between me and the wife and kids so plenty of chances for tender meat for steak etc.

Wow Chet, that is one big deer; both body and horn. Judging by the neck, he would really stink up the kitchen, iffen he was fried.

Myself, i have been hunting the hills almost every day with mostly no success. White things waving good bye, after they hear or smell or see me coming. One would think an old man could move slower, but i guess this one can't.

Yessir, that is one fine buck.

Nice buck! Wow, that is a bruiser. Don't think I've ever seen a deer that big up close and personal... Nice shooting too!

I am sighted in 2 inches high so i use the 100 yard circle out to 150 yards. I used the 150 yard reticle but the shot was lower than I thought . Almost to low. I should have used between the 150 and 200 yard circles.

I never have made sausage but we make lots and lots of jerkey. Usually at least 20 pounds at a time. I should try some sausage. I salt cure some, smoke some and freeze some. This year i am going to brine cure some and try it like that.
