Due to the rain and the weather, there were fewer hunters for opener. Dick and his sons and Mike were there along with Tom Baker and three of his sons; Micky, Tom, and Dan. John and Nick Sanner came up Monday afternoon. Bob and Tyler Norland were hunting today, Saturday, November 15th.
This is a nice buck Tom Baker shot out of his stand on the opening day. Tom said it was close enough he could have thrown the bullet at it.
This was a team effort. Mike and Jason shot this fork horn out of Matt's stand and as you can see below, the meat we had from this deer was delicious!
The mud, the blood, and the deer

This is a nice doe John and Nick Sanner shot out of Matt's stand Monday afternoon. This picture was taken by the Trailcam by Matt's stand and although it is of poor quality, you can see John and Nick are dragging this deer using John's belt; probably the toughest drag we have had in a long time. We have been using ATVs since 1983 and this is the first one I can recall where they did it the old fashioned way.
Probably the best food we had all weekend; some ribeye and tenderloins from Mike and Jason's buck. They cooked it on the grill and used butter and garlic salt. There was no gamey taste to the meat at all.
You can see Patrick, Darin, and Nathan enjoyed the meal. Seems that beer also helped digestion.

Here's another picture with Peggy at the table.
