Bear Jr sent me some Pics from his employees & his Best High School Buddy. None for Bear Jr yet. He passed up the same Big 6 pointer 3 times so far---The one that's ruining my newly planted Leyland Cypress Trees!!!!

Thanks for Looking,
Bear

Congrats to all the hunters!!! I can't wait for Missouri this weekend. I take customers out there to hunt every year ( I know, I know, rough job but someone has to do it). I have hunted about 10-15 days here in Tennessee already, but nothing worth taking a stab at!
 
Thank You Dylan!!
I'm anxious to see how the others do this Deer season. My Son has 13 employees (mostly climbers), and they're all good kids, and just about all of them hunt.
It's funny, when my Son was younger, he was a big help to me. Then he got married & wasn't much help around here for awhile, but now he has 13 Crazy Young guys working for him, and they'll help me any time I need it.
It's like have 13 Sons!!!

And Thanks for the Like.

That's awesome! I love this time of year!

Here are a few of my pics from my yearly hunting trip. I took 3 Whitetail does, 1 Axis doe, and 1 Blackbuck Antelope Doe. The pics feature my Axis doe (spotted with black stripe down back) and one of my Whitetail does. The spike was not mine.

We brought back 7 animals and I spent 4.5 days at 12-13 hours a day processing them all to fill my freezer again :)

Enjoy!

Thanks Gary!!
LOL---It was actually Archery, and I know they use heads nowadays that spring open to about 3" or so, but----
I'm going to ask him if he worked the hole over a bit, so his buddies could see where he hit it.

Thanks Tall !!
I'm glad you told me that one was an "Axis" Deer.
I was wondering why somebody killed a Fawn.
We don't have Axis Deer in PA.

Yeah I figured I better specify it wasn't bambi hahaha.
We have tons of exotic game animals running all over Central TX. Axis seems to be one of the most prevalent and is always spoken of as arguably the best venison meat out there. I have never eaten it or had a chance to take one so if anyone cares I'll report back once I cook and eat some lol.

The other venison I have heard that is arguably the best is Red Deer (including Red Stag). I have never had one of those either and the property I hunt one had it's last one harvested in like 2012 so I guess I won't be having a chance at those guys either.

Blackbuck Antelope meat is much darker in color and has more of an iron like flavor to it. It is like Whitetail with a hint of fried chicken gizzard flavor to it. I just grind it up with my Whitetail meat and it never seems to change the flavor so you can see that it isn't that strong of a difference to hijack the taste.

Keep on posting what the boys knock down. I love seeing and hearing about hunting success or even the stories of failure :)

Not hunting this year or last ... but have a bunch of pics of deer I have harvested over the years .. but, this is fresh kills
 
So far it's only Fresh Kills (This season).
Let's keep it that way---No old ones.
Bear Jr has 5 Head mounts in his Living room--All 8 points & above from PA, but those aren't from this year, so I won't put them on this Thread.

BTW: If I get some Backstrap this year, I'll be trying some in my SV machine!!!
