WOW, WI it looks like you have a hardware store in your leg. Its amazing what medical science can do these days. I bet you'd have difficulty getting onto an airplane :D:D:D:D.

I've hunted only once since i've gotten my buck. I just haven't wanted to enough. Plus, there's no room left in the freezer.

I did get my deer salami and snack sticks back yesterday. $95 dollars later I have 30 pounds of salami and 15 pounds of snack sticks. It was worth it though.

KK - One thing I learned the hard way was DO NOT ICE THE ANKLE. I have been rehabing it and it was getting sore so I put an ice pack on the side. Well the metal conducts the cold right to the bone. I couldn't even move it until it warmed back up.[:@] The venison sounds great. I can't wait to start making up some of ours.

IM still in the game. Still have a Buck tag for late archery season. Starts after XMAS, can't wait. Lots of nice deer made it through rifle season. I was talking to my brother inlaw the other day and he said he say 8 bucks in his one field the other nite. Two 8pts two 10pts and some small bucks.

Good luck hatchet, late season is always a fun time to be hunting.

I'm still having a tough season. I looked at my log and I've been hunting 31 times this year and I've seen 11 deer from the stand, 4 in bow range, I killed 2 of those does. I've only seen one buck, and I had my nephew with me and he killed that deer with a rifle. Typically by now I have seen a dozen or more good bucks. This year has been strange, we only had our first frost about 2 weeks ago. So the woods have been full of browse and we also had one of the best acorn crops I have ever seen. All this contributes to poor deer movement IMO, they simply don't have to travel to feed.

I'm expecting things to heat up after Christmas. Our rut still hasn't hit yet, I would expect anyday now for things to get exciting. Good luck to all in their late season hunting.

Well, they're starting to give weather reports for after Christmas and it looks OK. Beginning Dec. 27th we can hunt for two weeks. I'll go out on certain mornings & evenings when it's not too darned cold. Hopefully we can get a little more snow on the ground so the deer will move.
I'd sure like to be able to use my buck tag. I know there's some out there still that outwitted the relentless deer drives by the rifle hunters. Reports are that there is a nice 12 point running around.
I would like to get another deer in the freezer since we didn't do well during the rifle hunt...

WI - that ankle really looks nasty. It doesn't look like it would be too comfortable even when its healed. I hope that it is though - would like to hear that you are able to get out there and hunt again

HatchetJack - get out there and get one of those bucks!

D.C. Sure hope the rut brings you a nice buck.

Let's go guys! There's still 8 of us that can score a buck (I think).

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE!!!!

Hi all, WI hope the leg is doing better, goodluck DC and PAJen. Hey we might not win the thing but we can go out with a bang if some of us score. Late season is a tuff time to get a deer in our state, hey PaJen COLDDDDDD[:-]. I had a great archery season, seen lot of nice bucks. I let a real nice 6pt walk first hour of rifle season. Same day I also seen a smaller 6pt and a 5pt. There some real nice Bucks still walking around my Brother inlaws farm in Bucks co. I can,t wait for the 27th I washed all my hunting gear and Im ready. Its opening day all over again:D I think It's better to go out mid morning than first light when its real cold PaJen. The deer move more mid day being a little warmer and your not a popcikle by 9am. GOODLUCK ALL BE SAFE:D

Hey guys and gal,
Well I have been getting around real good at home with out the walking boot. Looks like the whole family (Wife, Son and Daughter) and I will be heading to the cabin for new years weekend. Life gets pretty busy this time of year with Matt in hockey and Sara in basket ball so we are going to get some away time. I am planning on taking the bow and getting out some for that last weekend of our season. It feels like it is opening weekend all over again. Thanks for all the well wishes from all of you. It really does NOT hurt at all it is just tough to get everything moving again. My range of motion is not what it used to be BUT I will get it back. At least I will get out one last time this season. I sure didn't think I would be to this point so soon. I was told it would be mid to late Jan before I would be walking again.

19" of snow and a state of emergency!!!!!! No hunting for me. Just lots and lots of snow shoveling. Boy are mky arms tired. Just got up from a 2 hour nap. The coolest thing happened last night. I went out into the woods last night in pajama pants, t-shirt, and my coveralls. I wore a pair of gators with my boots so my feet stayed dry and warm. I didn't have my bow b/cause hunting after hours in frowned apon for some reason. The deer that were running around were almost up to their bellies!!!! I was by myself in the woods when I saw a huge flash. The sky lit up. and a couple seconds later I heard thunder. Winter storm thunder storm!!! I was soooooo cool.

Walking in 19" of snow is hard work very tirering. I even saw a squirrel running in the snow. It was pretty funny. I'll post pitchers when I have them developed.

I have 4 days off and a deer tag left and I can't even go hunting. O'well

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!
