I've been a bowhunter for many years, and one of the reasons I asked Santa for a Bradley Smoker is so I can make and process my own sausage, and cure/cook other Venison-related meat products. Here are a couple of deer I have taken the last 2 years.
November 7th 2012 and 2013 were very good days for me. Both of the bucks pictured below were taken on November 7th on our property in Illinois.
This is my 2012 buck. He was a BIG 9 pointer, that weighed just over 235 on the hoof. My son and I liked to never got him out of the woods!

This is the buck I took this year, also a big 9 pointer. He didn't weigh what the 2012 buck did, but I have a lot of meat in the freezer from him.

I should have the first buck (2012) back from the Taxidermist in 4 weeks or so, and I'll be sure to post a picture of the mount. The 2013 buck will also go on the wall, but it will be about a year from now before he is done. I love bowhunting!
