Deer Hunting Season – First Hunt
The archery deer hunting season is underway and I am pretty excited. I went out for the first time last Saturday.
And I saw a few good looking deer. I didn’t get one, but my brother in law did. And I am really happy for him. Great day in the woods.
Looks like rain this saturday, so might just stay home and snooze. I can do this, because it is still early in the season.
My favorite time is RUT, then come rain, sleet, snow, hail, floods whatever – you can bet I will be in my tree.
Good luck to all!
Happy Hunting,
Paul
Deer Mount Made Simple
As a deer hunter, you probably already know how costly getting a deer mounted can be. Over the years I have harvested and had so many deer mounted that my wife had to put a stop to it. She warned that if I get one more deer mounted, I will be the one mounted next.
Deer Antlers Mounted
I don’t want to find out if she is serious. So I found one cost effective way to mount your trophies without going through the cost and hassle of a full deer mount.
In explaining all of this to my taxidermist, he suggested simply taking my deer antlers and mounting them on a board.
This is a great way to enjoy your hunting memories at the fraction of the cost to have the entire deer head mounted. See attached picture.
Between White Tail Deer Season
I love archery whitetail hunting, what more can I say? But in these cold months between seasons, what can you do to stay busy?
For me, I have once again taken to my basement to continue my shooting. So far, I have only hit a few of my wife’s garments she had hanging. (As I mentioned in a previous post, I shoot right over the washer and dryer).
But on a more serious note, if you aren’t already doing it… The downtime between hunting seasons is a great time to work on your shooting form. By staying sharp and working on the fundamentals now – It will surprise you to see the improvement you make by the time next season rolls around.
Happy Hunting
