Tonight we are cutting up deer meat for the freezer so it seemed appropriate to include some hunting photos. The bottom photo is of me and my second buck. The other photo is of my brother carrying out most of his deer. There are some big deer down there! And as much work as it was to field-butcher the deer and carry them out to our camp, the hard work is going on tonight - here in our kitchen. It takes forever to cut up and package 5 deer. I am now glad we did not harvest more deer. But the pay-off is a freezer full of tasty meat.
We were lucky to harvest our deer before the bucks went into rut. Deer in rut do not taste good. I will not be harvesting any more bucks this year. We could tell that the bucks were just beginning to hang out with the does, and their scent glands were beginning to smell. By next week they would have been inedible. Patrick

Nice job Patrick that once again is a nice looking Buck. Dig your pic. and look forward to going out in the back country no mater what occasion. Ya all rock,see ya soon. Jeremy.
Get back here soon and first melt out we'll run a river that is ordinarily a creek. I get the feeling the river running in your neck of the woods is done for the year.
Patrick
