Anterless Season

[Ketchup]

This friday, saturday and sunday. I know i have tags to fill after my crappy season. Lets hope the wind isnt cranking 40+ this weekend.

Temps look comfortable. Dad and I will be headed up towards Kirksville to guide some youth and disabled hunters with the MIssouri Disabled Sportsmen group this weekend. They have some great grounds secured and some nice shooting houses ready to go for the hunters. Hopefully the deer cooperate for them and they can lay waste to some slickheads and keep us busy with the skinning and gutting.

Good luck Ketchuo. I understand having a crappy season. Only saw deer on the opening day. None since. I'm likely to head out on Sat. Not confident that I will get into any deer.

Seth - I respect you for taking your time and energy to help with this hunt! Congrats! I hope that they get the chance to put down a bunch of deer!

Thanks John.  Those poor slick heads better grow some antlers within the next 2 days or its lights out.

Good deal for doing that Seth. Ive been involved in the scouting program for years, and really enjoy teaching and helping the youth earn their Eagle Scout, and to see them grow.  Those Vets will be grateful in many ways.

True BH.   Dont believe i have ever shot a yearling deer, but if they pop out this weekend this may be my first.  Just gotta close my eyes when i squeeze the trigger

You could have shot a couple big does right out the back of my boat yesterday. Saw a ton while fishing Bull

I shot a fawn doe during the urban season about 10 years ago that could not have been more than 60 lbs wet. I carried her to my vehicle on my shoulder. I kept one of the hams fully intact (with the bone in). After some back and forth discussion with Chef Scott Leysath (now the Sporting Chef; at the time was on Hunt, Fish, Cook), I prepared an injectable marinade with rosemary, garlic, and olive oil and injected the meat. I cooked it to medium rare and served it for Christmas dinner. that was one tender and tasty venison meal. Just describing this is making me salivate !
