archery starts saturday. you cant eat the horns whitetail addict first come first serve here
Yeah I know, you can boil and boil them and they don't make good soup...but if I want meat I'll harvest an old doe thats past prime (no longer able to reproduce).
Don't take this the wrong way, but it is that "if it's brown, its down" mentality that has gotten the PA deer herd where it is today. I was taught that when I started hunting...it wasn't until I became more educated in the whitetail deer itself and herd dynamics did I see the error in this. I even taught my 91 yr old great-grandfather this, after seeing the results (me harvesting a 130" p&y buck off his property (which is the largest harvested in the 50+yrs hes owned it)) he said he will not take a buck that is not larger than one he has previously harvested.
I know this can be counter-productive when the deer can wander onto the neighboring property and get shot...but he may not go on there.
Good luck Saturday.
I'm cutting and wrapping my bow killed elk today.
Congrats Rob! Lets see some pics.
What setup are you using?
