Friday night I had 1.5 hours of daylight after work. I grabbed the Muzzleloader and asked the kids if they wanted to go get that big buck across the road. After short morning stands alternating ( Boy 7, Girl 9) S,S,M,And T without seeing a deer they both passed. Just into the JNF Wilderness area across the road, I took a ground stand a 100 yards shy of my treestand. It just felt like the thing to do. I’ll spare you the rest of the details, but I dropped the fast moving buck with his nose on the ground as he cleared a blowdown less that 15 yards to my right.
I went home for dinner and brought the kids back to dress and drag it. Imagine my surprise when my daughter said “ yeah the liver is good I had it at PapPaps.” ( it’s my favorite once a year meal - 50% just because ) Sat night I fired up the Coleman stove and grabbed a cast iron from the kitchen and made a skillet of peppered bacon, liver, and onions.
I’d say that’s possibly a little more out of date than walnut gunstocks!!!!
