Re: Springtime trail cam pics
You could see the same things up here in Central NY, but biologically speaking; the further North you go, the colder the average, and the bigger critters need to be to conserve enough body heat to survive the winter. Quite a lot of the does dress out between 150 and 170lb up here. For meat, doesn't pay to shoot the Big Boys, they run toward the tough side.
I hunt MEAT.
I make Stew, Speedies, Chili, and Teryaki Jerky. For the rest of my cooking, the butcher has what I need. My pantry has a lot of quart canning jars in it.
I have never been able to make and hide a batch of Jerky my Granddaughter couldn't find and wolf down. Got a nose on her, she does...
At least she shares..., sometimes, even with me....
She's twelve now, good lookin', set's a horse real good, and gettyin' crafty; look out, world... 'Nuther year or two and she'll be out there baggin' 'er own...
