Shot my buck this weekend up around 9k feet. We call him Too Tall Jones or Uprights because he was a massive body with a very tall 4x4 rack, but very narrow and awkward. I'd post pics but I'm on mobile and I can't.
Either way, stoked to fill the freezer and move on to birds!

Going to guess it was not cared for well and over cooked. I have several ways of cooking it but the one thing is cook it so its medium rare to rare on the inside. I like to slice it into 1” thick strips, marinate in soy, garlic powder, sriracha for 45 min then toss on a hot grill until done.

I flushed a couple coveys of huns today out deer hunting. It's no fun not being able to trundle after them with my shotgun. But I guess deer hunting has it's perks too!

Most likely not cared for properly. I've had similar to what you describe and it was not good.(btw I love duck the same way or even a huckleberry reduction). The goose jerky I had was amazingly bad and dry, again prob just guy who made it. Pastrami sounds delicious I'll have to check it out.
Good on you guys for getting out with the dogs. My retriever has been flushing the tall grass and pointing to rising fish lately. I haven't bird hunted in years and did no bird training with him but he apparently has good lines and is turning into a good pup(10 month english golden).

Welp, looks like I'll be out for rifle opener with all the other yahoos. Kinda thinking of sleeping out Friday night in the field to try to get a jump Saturday AM. Sorta freaked out about bivying out in bear country solo to be honest. I really like sleeping under my topper in my truck bed.

well. had a shot on a doe today.
40yd 20 deg downhill in heavy snow.
Never saw the arrow, but heard it hit ground and the sage ..
F*CK!!!! are you kidding me I MISSED?! COMPLETELY??
She trotted off just fine, watched her for a half mile. Then she jumped a fence and grazed a little.
I .. can not believe it.
Got home and set up my target, put a 3 arrow group in 1/2" so I have no idea what happened. Musta screwed up something. estimate of range or pitch or my ability or something.

Collective advice needed:
Work told me today that I have more PTO to burn before 12/1 rollover than expected (nice, but shafting me out of 4 days for the next calendar year). Regardless, I'm planning on using those three days to hunt waterfowl. Do I stay close and just wait for bad weather and hunt SLC? I have a buddy up in Idaho Falls area who says the hunting's been real good, do a day or two up there? Drive somewhere else up north and hope for the best rolling solo? Could theoretically hunt Wednesday-Sunday somewhere, any weekend between now and the 22nd weekend of November."If we can't bring the mountain to the party, let's bring the PARTY to the MOUNTAIN!"

Why not get out of dodge one last time before winter really kicks in?

Just got back from one desert trip, doing another halloween weekend, so trying to optimize my duck hunts before ski season.

Clear shot, minus the snow, wind maybe at my back.
Replaying .. she was maybe closer. I just checked, it was 15deg down. I sighted posts at maybe 35. Found the arrow today, def a clean miss. Best guess I shot high.
edit to add: Being the nerd I am, I recreated the shot at home. Found that my 20yd post was 3" over point of aim in these conditions. So my 30 post musta been over her back.
And .. I blew it.
Got til sunday, maybe she'll be back.Last edited by MiddleOfNight; 10-21-2019 at 02:25 PM.

Looks like opener is gonna be pretty damn stormy. Was potentially gonna bivy out tonight, but I'm not that much of a masochist I don't think. Hope the pressure actually pushes some animals back up in elevation. Early snow/cold seems all the herds are already formed down on the private/ag land below 6k feet. This is gonna be tough.

Last hurrah for big game tomorrow morning, looking for a buck, then duck season really takes over. Been pretty slow on the wasatch front for ducks, just waiting for some more weather!
