We quit early because we had enough meat and I had plenty of my own cutting to do. Glad my wife puts up with my hunting mess this time of year.

Lyon. It kind of did both. When they went to drag it broke off. I examined the antler and it looked like 3/4 of it was already free and the remaining part snapped. On one drive I was waiting for a driver to even up the lines and I had a really nice buck, larger than the one shot in the picture...

Having trouble getting pictures up with my Iphone so hopefully this works. First buck of the first drive and first shot so I was happy.

If you get 3-4 hrs in low setting out of them you're doing good. Wouldn't spend the $$ on them if I had to do it over. They help but the covers like artic shields and a good liner sock along with wool socks are probably a cheaper and better investment. To the person that wore them snow...

Years ago I decided it was getting pretty pricey just to have a deer cut up so I started doing my own. Started with canned venison,pastrami and basic cuts like steaks. Now I have a stuffer, smoker, grinder, vacuum sealer, pressure canner, and electric winch. I didn't buy it all at once. If you...

I'm so saddened I didn't make the list:( J/K, I'm just a guy that does a couple of dozen a year as a side deal from my full time job and so I don't get over loaded and prevent someone from getting their mount back in a reasonable time. Breiner11 is a good guy. I've never met him in person but...

Looks like he expected hot glue to adhere to a sealed piece of wood. Never a good idea. If you were near me I'd fix that in a minute or two for you. Lots of ways you could fix it quick. I'd just put some leather/fabric over the quills and some small finishing nails/screws that don't go all the...

I've seen your offerings to help all kinds of people RetiredMurph. I can see how you would enjoy that more than killing one yourself. I know I would. Great sportsmanship.

Sending you a message.

One of a million other reasons to hate ticks. When I'm camping out deer I still cringe when I see them crawling all over my hands. Even had some cold weather shotgun bucks have them pouring off of them once I got them warmed back up. Skin now crawling. :(

Read about this earlier in the year online. That would suck to have to go "cold turkey" on red meat. I hope no one else gets this. Sounds like it's heavy in eastern state ticks and moving west.

Set the bar high. Congrats!!

Meyeri, I would actually recommend "Fixit" over apoxe sculpt. I've used both and the fixit actually dries to a better base antler color. If your epoxy is too shiny use some baby powder or talcum powder while mixing equal parts, it will dull the shine. You can also use diluted potassium...

I just have the racks out while I'm stuffing and zig-zag then back and forth until I have a full tray. I was going to hang but was concerned about the ends hanging closest to the heat source. I suppose I could flip them as I do rotate the racks with the way I do it now so they don't dry out...
