Hunting season opened at 7:03 this morning. By 9:00, I was
field-dressing a buck. Third year in a row I've gotten a deer before
lunchtime on opening day -- it's nice to be able to hunt private
property after all these years hunting in state forests, along with a
hundred thousand other people. Should wind up with close to a hundred
pounds of venison in the freezer.


100lbs? Geezus - that must have been a monster buck! Post pics. Most
average NE bucks only yield around 60lbs tops.

No monster; by Midwestern standards, it's only medium-sized, even leaning a bit toward the
small side of medium. No pics to post -- it wasn't big enough to bother taking any.

I will say this, though: it's the biggest four-point buck I've ever seen. I was *really* surprised
there wasn't at least one more set of tines on the antlers.
