I got my buck early so I'm done for this deer season so I can foxus in the fish this winter. Just a little management 13 inch 7 point in easy Texas. Whoop!

Bang! Nice to always get that out of the way early so that you can focus on what "really" matters.

I couldn't agree more 'salsa!!!

..but, then, I haven't got to go huntin' in more years than I want to remember!! MAN!! I miss the hunt.

Way to go Mudholes!

I love deer season, several guys I work with always bring deer jerky and summer sausage for everyone!! Congrats on your take!

Thanks! As soon as I get back to the real world of Dallas from the boonies ill upload a pic or 2

Yes nothing huge but I had to get rid of those bad genes. Doin a European mount myself. I'll poat a pic of finish mount when its finished

Nice job

u boiled that head?....man that stinks ....deer brains........

u should've done this:

I haven't boiled it yet. About to do that now. Have to do it now so the neighbors are aleepin and won't complain lol

Man wish I could hunt.....can't afford a deer lease....last time i took a deer-doe- was 3 years ago......

I'm lucky to have my grandpas farm to hunt on in east Texas.

Here's some buck stew...

Good job Matt. I expect you to bring some deer jerky in December to Twok.

I don't have a deer lease. I hunt at whitney. You don't have to have a deer lease to take a deer in texas. You just have to be able to stalk and shot.

And get this... I don't even have a store bought compound bow. I use a recurve I made myself. Infact the only thing store bought is my broadheads. I even do the rest of my fletching myself.

Nice job, Matt. You gonna process him yourself?

What's up with the thermometer?

Deer brain stew is best served at 180*...........

The thermometer is so I can keep the water under 200 degrees to prevent damage to the cartilidge and everything in the nose.

yessir. I process everything myself. the only thing I cant do is a shoulder mount and I'm learnin that soon. I dont like paying 300 bucks to have meat processed

right on!

Holy smokes $300? We pay $75 for two at my processor.

i had one done at kuby's before and they charged more than that but i had some specialty sausages done up with almost all the meat. The only thing I didn't make sausage with was the tenderloin. But normally I do my own processing. I don't know anything about taxidermy though.
If you don't know... Kuby's is a German market and restuarant. They make the best german sausages in the metroplex.

My family gets my sisters done at Syracuse. They're pricey but they do make great sausage. I just make chili meat, pan steaks and backstrap steaks. I can't so shoulder mountains yet but I plan on my first attempt next year. I'm practicing tanning hides this time with rabbits this deer and a coyote. My neighors have to hate me

Your a regular Tred Barta LOL. That is very cool.
