You don't take the back strap?
To me learning how to hunt deer was at least half of the fun
I've already posted in this thread, but coming up my driveway tonight after work I spotted a couple of does eating persimmons.
They are already dropping from the trees.
More advice: Learn to identify natural food sources. Oak trees and persimmon groves are magnets for deer. When the acorns are dropping, they will rarely give a look at a corn feeder. Try to find the natural food if there is no agriculture near by.
If your in an area like mine, there are no oak or persimmon trees, so we hunt agriculture.
If your going to hunt public ground, and there is farming in the area, walk it out and see where the deer are moving. Go early and stay late to watch their movements if possible.
Public ground is hard to hunt as there are a lot of folks out there like you, are new, and don't have the patience to sit and wait them out.
Public ground, go early hunt deep, and leave late. You will be more successful than most.

Geez man I think that thing still has some spots on her...
Actually bro, it was a button buck that I shot as a doe from about 35 yards. Yep, I'm admitting I made a mistake, oh the agony. We were just discussing guys like you on a previous thread, the ones that their momma never taught the old saying "if you aint got nothing nice to say, then don't say nothing at all". Lol...
Just means it was better eating!
