Unicorn Meat

Nice work Semi!
He ain't got much fat on him... is that is typical of your deer down south?
My son's ML buck from mid December had almost no fat on him either - which is VERY rare around here. More often they have loads of fat. All the other deer we got had plenty, some had a ton.

How much longer can you guys hunt with muzzleloaders?
This guy and an eight-pointer with the tip broken on his right main beam have been hanging around one of my stands for the last three weeks. I kept seeing the unicorn and passing on him, hoping the eight would step out. One of the other guys shot the eight Friday evening. He was 150 lbs. So my Saturday turned into a meat hunt.
By the way, when I shot the "Oops Doe" on Dec 13th. I fully cleaned the gun and reloaded. So the load I shot this guy with was in the bore for four weeks. As you would expect from that shot location, he dropped on the spot and didn't even twitch.

I forgot your rut is so late down there. Ours is usually going good by start of Nov, but even in Dec our typically still have plenty of fat. Little fella musta been chasin some tail! Congrats on your meat!
