itchy

The itch got me so bad, I went and bought this new T/C Omega. Its still over three months from muzzle loader season!

Deer Skinning

Pat found this video for a way to skin deer that looks very effective. We had heard of this before, but until I saw it I didn't know what we were missing.

Laser Peta

At the risk of turning this blog into a repository of unfunny internet crap, I leave this link to an article on meat cutting that i think we need to keep in mind for this year.

The Itch

I know it isn't technically even September yet, but I hope everyone is getting excited.
I know Phil and Topher are. Yesterday Phil opened a conversation with me by saying "you are driving on Wednesday right?" As if he were talking about next week rather than three months from now. The only sad part was I understood exactly what he meant.

Oh, Thanksgiving, come quickly!

Bagged and Tagged

Get your tags Folks!

County Designation

Kingsbury is designated 42A.

SD Residents Mount Up!

Time for SD residents to buy your tags. As in TODAY if you want to hit the first drawing. You have the choice of "1 Any Deer", "2 Antlerless", or "1 Antlerless". Non-residents will need to pony up by October 26th. There are a total of 1600 licenses available for Kingsbury County, and if I recall correctly, Kingsbury was the only county that had leftover buck tags last fall. I don't think anyone should have a problem getting licenses, but you should get on the stick just to be sure.

Muzzleloader apps are due today for residents as well if anyone wants to get in the buck pool. Keep in mind that They only issue 400 buck permits statewide. If you're not interested in shooting bucks, doe tags are limitless in availability (and no application deadline) and are good statewide from 12/8 - 1/30. I put in for a buck just for kicks.
