Not much of a story, but I was going to shoot a doe opening day, but it ran off before I could shoot it.  I was cosidering going hunting today with my dad, but my grandfather was in the hospital and since he's pretty cheap, he parked his truck at our place and now my dad will have to pick him up.
Call me master, cause I'm faster on fire.  I no longer have to hotwire, I'm a hunter for hire wit no plans to retire and all the sucka MCs can call me sire!  Screw the Jedi and the Sith.

I actually took yesterday off and took advantage of the snow in Western MD and wow was it a cold day at 15 degrees. I did see a few bucks though, nothing I wanted to harvest at this point. Think I am done hunting for the the weekend.

I had a doe and two fawns almost close enough to touch this morning. They were playing in the snow like kids. I wished them a good morning and continued my still hunt. Walking in the snow is a fun way to hunt and very quiet.

Wow, between MD and WV have seasons that are in till the end of January. I usually end my hunting over the Christmas break, but might do some snow bow hunting in MD this new year.

WV Muzzleloader season starts tomorrow so I might go sit for about an hour tomorrow evening. I would love to get some snow down here like MD has now, but looks like its bright and sunny this week. Cold, but no snow.

Wow, has it been over two years since I posted in here? Well I finally have something to share. This big ole dude has been giving me the slip for almost a month now and today I finally got him to mess up all because of his girlfriend. She brought him right by me. Looks like turkey nuggets tonight!

Well I get to add something else to the hunting thread. My family had a heck of a weekend with the passing of my wife's grandmother and between all the viewings and funeral services we all needed a day off today. I couldn't sleep so I went and sat in the blind.

And it was great fun getting the family involved. My little gal just loves venison.

I don't know how my hair got so grey, but I sure do enjoy archery. I usually just watch em more than shooting them, but every once in awhile it is nice to put very healthy meat in the freezer.

NICE!

Been a while since I went out. Here in Louisiana we've had some warm winters for the past 5 years so there's never much moving around. I had no idea you were a hunter Shawn. Time to make some sausage!!!

I would love to hear some Louisiana hunting stories. I think we all have visions of Swamp People in our heads, but I know its not like that down there. I would love to hear about your hunting adventures.

And I have been a hunter since I was about twelve. Mostly self taught except for one friend who is an absolute nut with it, but I do enjoy the peace and quiet the woods gives me. I usually just go and watch, but my daughter was wanting some jerky so besides grilling up the tenderloin (in some McCormick Marinades) that where this one is destined to go.

Actually Shawn it is a lot like Swamp People down here. I live in southern Louisiana about 30 miles north of New Orleans. I've grown up with hunters and fishermen all my life. My family is mostly of Cajun descent so the older folks all speak French and have the same accents that you hear from Troy and his crew (Swamp People). As kids, we were taught to hunt rabbit, boar, duck, squirrel, turkey, deer and frogs. Some of my friends also hunted gator when they were older. We fish for an abundance of sea food (fresh and salt water) catfish, bass, specks and whites (trout), red fish and flounder, crabs, oysters, turtles and crawfish. We'll eat anything that moves, and it's good too. I absolutely love this state! I've been all over the southern half of the US from California to Virginia but my heart is here and here I'll stay. It's the most unique place in the US, but for hunting and fishing it's unbelievable! They don't call us the 'Sportsman's Paradise' for nothing!

P.S.: Jerky and tenderloin are great, but if you take some of that venison and mix it with some pork and seasoning the sausage will blow the top of your head off! If you can't grind your own a local butcher will do it for you....   I'm starving.

I would love to hear more stories about this. Sounds like a place I would like to visit.

I love the sound of that sausage. I have a mean jerky marinade too by the way.

Thanks bud. Wish you were here to taste some of it!

Thanks Spry. I agree I am liking seeing DS add a bit to this. I like hearing about how folks do things in other places, let alone add some great wild game recipes or how to fix it to the mix.
