2023 Deer Season

[tmschuller]

Been watching this guy the last year or so. He’s up eating acorns close the barn and out with the horses at night. I missed a great picture and settled on this one

Yowsers, that's a big boy right there. You mind if I come shoot my bow at your place?

This guy did an 8 picture photo shoot last night

Took a doe this afternoon, likely done for the season. However, this growth was on her inner thigh. I assumed it was fibroma, but doesn't look like the pictures I see. It is about goofball sized. Only attached to skin, meat underneath looks normal. Any thoughts on what this is?

It has Fibromialgia and is trying to get on disability. Probably to get bags of fudge rounds....LOL

PSA for Hamilton County...if you are the guy I talked to who was tracking just west of Hinkle Creek on 216th tonight, I hope you got it loaded up before dark! I'm the guy in the truck with the mouthy dog who found it...

I shot this one on Christmas Eve in Johnson County.

Didn’t want to start a new thread but thought this about deer in PA is nuts! Saw a clip on you tube and did a quick search. Here in Indiana you find a dead head you call DNR and get a permit. Same in PA except to keep the dead head it’s $10 a point you have to pay to keep it! So a 10 pt would cost you $100 !!!!

I'm curious when the head becomes a shed. I find skulls in bone piles every now and then when shed hunting, but the horns are usually chewed up by squirrels.

I believe it’s said if antlers are attached to the skull it’s a dead head. Only if antlers off the skull are sheds.

That has to be in place as a deterrent to keep people from bothering DNR to come give a guy permit to keep it. A real waste of time. I'll just take my chances. If you outlaw deadheads, only outlaws will have deadheads.........or something like that.

That's ignorant.

I have dozens of dead heads, I asked the CO if I needed to get permits for them and he said, "no, common sense tells me these were found in woods, if you have dead heads with fur attached hanging from a clothes line in full view, you might have some explanations to make.".

I have info from past years and on forums where IDNR were saying different things on this but then stated a permit is required. However I have never found one to find out. So after reading your statement I contacted a retired CO who I’m friends with, really good guy. He just told me that no permit is required for a dead head found. So I’m going with that. Maybe in years past they had it but obviously not any longer.

Did someone say dead head?

I got to thinking today, this season I didn't shoot a deer with my bow. Last time was 2005 when I was building my house. I know I have a couple days left, but I'm not going. 18year streak busted!!

Don’t give up so easily

 

[BigMoose]

Did you all get Bambi in the freezer?

While deer isn't my thing, its about time for my yearly participation in a Texas Hog Eradication...

 

[Cavman]

muzzle loader season.

 

[bobjones223]

Well not 2023 but no tag soup for me.

.450 BM got the job done in reduction zone.

Processing tomorrow fill the freezer and wait till next season.

Passed on a TON of deer during rut won't happen again next year.

 

[Michigan Slim]

Just got my firearms buck back from the butcher. Or somebody's buck. Called to see why it wasn't done yet and was told another month. Got a call the next day to pick it up.
Need to find another butcher that will give me my deer, including burger, etc.
