Alright TAB & Dogg - ducks and deer - looks like you guys had some great days out amongst 'em. Dogg - you know that was a joke - nowadays we are sadly and truly divided by "conservative" and "liberal" rather than by the old "north and south" (which has pretty much receded into history). However, it is still fun to play the old jokes - playing to the audience at hand! If I serve you wild game Jerry I will be eating some myself - so it sure won't be song dog! Here is a picture (a poor one) of the buck shot on the Edgecombe County farm Friday evening by one of our club members - we have some nice bucks coming out of the swamps along the Tar River during the rut. OH

Colonel, I'm pretty sure you know I'm just jerkin' your chain. As you so succinctly put it, "we just play to the crowd in attendance" and I've never been above a cheap joke no matter how weak it is. :lol:

Some nice fish and game going on here! ::tu::

I get a crack at deer on my dads place down in San Angelo later in the month, I've shot a few decent buck, never a wall hanger, but I surely do like to take some doe and grind it p for chili, put a little into breakfast sausage, too. Plum Larapin!

A side note, all joking aside I think the love of outdoors and knives is a stronger bond than even liberal and conservative these days. Usually a fellow who takes to those passions, is a good egg.

Some nice harvests Guys!

Picked these 2 trout up in 1 hour of fishing. Just got too cold and windy. Went to vist my son in Elko NV and the plan was not fishing so I was abit under dressed for the elements. Well worth the time though.

Both 18" and pushing 2 pounds.

Headed out to try to get some birds now....

Jerry, good luck on the birds - love bird hunting!

Gus, they stink!

Thomas, we have too many - had none ten years ago - they are efficient and suffer little mortality here except from humans (cars and rifles). The farm I shot that yote on had a fledging turkey population two seasons ago - haven't seen a sign of a turkey in over a year. The coyotes do control the feral dog and cat population though (guess every creature has some contribution to make).

Dogg, the fellow who shot the deer took it home to clean and age (he is a farmer who lives in an adjacent county and has his own meat cooler) so it wasn't weighed in at the club, but I would guess that buck weighs about 200 lbs., maybe a smidgen more. OH

Here's a pic of my brother using an Old Hickory skinner to butcher a spike buck he shot over the weekend...That Old Hickory has helped us skin and butcher a bunch of whitetails, and it's one of our favorites for the task. Perfect blade shape and takes and holds a fantastic edge...
