ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I was lucky enough to have one of my hunting/fishing buddies invite me up to his 1500+ acre spread here in SW Alabama.And as always the hunting was very good... Thanks George!Scored my personal best Buck ever.A 9 point, 150#, 4-5 year old male in his prime(11 pts if you count the two 1" Kickers coming off each Brow tine)I nailed him with my Savage 16/FCSS Weather Warrior .308, put a Hornady 165gr SP/BT Interlock into him about 4" and a little high behind his right shoulder, it exited at the same level about 10-12" behind the left shoulder.He managed to reverse course and clear the plot in two bounds, disappearing down a hill into a wooded ravine.No blood on the plot, I tried three different trails he could have taken before I got lucky and found a few drops of blood.Few and far between until I found a spot he went down and thrashed, then a lot more blood. Trailed him all the way down into the creek bottom of a 100' ravine and found him about 150 yards further down.We had to get some rope to add to the 25yards of cable on the Jeep's winch, and winch him out of there.Finally got him up and caught my breath, and took another pic.Later that day I sat another plot for the evening hunt.It was a large showing of Does with late fawns and assorted juveniles.Lots of rabbits too.I picked out a nice doe from a group of six that appeared to be without and young, and put a round through her shoulder/spine.(same round as above)She dropped like a box of rocks.I could have taken another in the mass confusion, although most of the deer bolted, a few of the does/juvies were actually stopping to stare at the downed doe. But I couldn't differentiate between who had young and who didn't.She weighed in at 90#s before being dressed out.The next day we found some pigs.These two little piglets didn't go to market, have roast beef and nor did they go weee, weee, weee all the way home.Cause I blew their brains out. But they did get invites to a great BBQ. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Very nice. I hope you have a chest freezer! Yeppers, sure do. Though once processed it doesn't a whole lot of space. Two deer cut into roasts, steaks and stew meat, took about 1.5 CF, of coarse I don't utilize the ribs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Take the venison scraps and mix it with the pork for sausage. No thanks, I already spent 4 hrs processing two deer. I don't do sausage or hamburger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
