Congrats on a fine buck, and thanks for bringing us this thread again this year!

That's a buck worth taking any day of the season. Thanks once again for taking us along to your little paradise in the bluff country. Looking forward to the remainder of the season, because I'm sure you're not done yet. Congratulations!

I love this thread every year! that said, I can't imagine being able to shoot one buck and your season being over.

time to get on the does!

[LITTLEBIGMAN]

Thank you every one.

If any of you remember I had just about finished making a walk in cooler last year. While we did hang the buck out side last night, the temps rose to 45 by 9 :30.

So we skinned and quartered the buck and inside Da Cooler he went.




The room is 6 X 10 X 8. Powered by a 15000 btu window A/C that has been modified and is controlled by a device that allows you to run the A/C down to below 40 F! Cool stuff. The room was at a constant 41 F all day.

Ok I have to let everyone know that I won't be blogging every day this year. The time required ends up with me on the computer when I should be with my Jayne. Since I am in the woods morning and night for 100 days straight , something had to give.

I will give you updates now and then when ever something good happens.

Hope you all understand.

I am jealous....

[Hopewell Tom]

Good going, Jim.
Having good friends around to share in the "glory" is a great added benefit to your harvest. He's a good buck. Love the cooler idea.
As usual, I always learn something from your posts. Who knew that breath holding could be so effective?

[CoachBGriff]

Very nice!

Well here we go, out of the blocks at a sprint .... great thread, thank you for all the efforts your farm is awesome

Jim, thanks for sharing your farm and hunting with us again this year, and I like a story that ends with a guy who can spend more of the hunting season with his sweetheart rather than being up on a stand on a cold night in late-November, sleet in his face, still trying to fill his tag.

I look forward to your thread every year.  Thanks for taking us along.  Great posts and congrats on the great buck.

[Bernie B.]

Congratulations Jim, that's a very nice buck!  I also look forward to your sharing hunts with us, but certainly understand the time involved with doing this.  You're truly a steward of the land and I commend you for making your farm better.  Good luck as you continue your fall hunts.
