Heres a little of the story, I couldnt resist hunting the freeze this morning so I got up at 3:15 and was in the blind with the heater going by 4:56. I have to drive straight through the place and walk across the field to get to my spot so its easy to bust everything out. I cut my headlights off at the CR and drive with my sniper hog light. I could see some doe and likely a target buck, thats on camera in that area, chasing them around right at daybreak with my thermal. They stayed in the thick stuff and after 3 times of nearly entering the field the buck ran them off to the south. Had some turkey under the blind and then nothing until a young 10 and the 8 I shot came bouncing across the field. The 10 kept heading straight north about 300 yards away. For whatever reason the 8 turned and ran towards me so I stopped him at around 80 yards and took the shot.
I probably could have dry aged it with this cool weather but Ive been getting some of the meat ready for a wet age.
