Thanks every body, it was a really good hunt. Sherman - I will send you a picture of the mule deer my friend shot. Robert - I will have to swing by sometime, I was over there a little while ago but I had just missed you guys.

Man that sucks, I didn't tag out either so I'll be chasing them with the old stick and string in a week also, good luck to ya!

Great job, I saw the same thing on my late November hunt, we seen lots of bucks but nothing with quality, my buddy shot a low to mid 70's type deer and I didn't kill anything so congrats on getting it done!

Matte, I just never liked the silver look.

+1 nets are for fishes! Great buck and congrats to you on a great trophy!

The dodge was mine and the ford is my buddies truck. Thought it would be cool to take a pic with all of them.

This may have been posted already but I didn't feel like browsing through all the topics to find one. I have been wanting to try the heart of a deer but have not done so yet, I've tried the tongue and liver before but never the heart. I've heard many things about eating a deer heart before so I thought I just need to try it for myself. So the big question here, what do you all think is the best way to cook a heart, who has a recipe that they are willing to share? Let's hear 'em!

Wrong section there bud...but I don't know anything about those deer so I am of no use to you.

Congrats to your sister, great buck!

Very nice, congrats.

Don't try and go cheap with the wife! She will always know! Haha bud not bad though

Looks like a whole bunch of fun you had there TJ. A buffalo hunt would be way cool to go on.

Way to get it done.

These all sound like great recipes and I'm sure to try all of them, but here is something I threw together real quick this evening and it came out great. I am now a fan of deer heart. First I started by slicing the heart down the middle to open it up and get inside to clean out the heart. Second I cleaned the heart of all the blood and cut out all the veins so I was left with a clean piece of muscle, it almost looked like a regular venison steak when it was all cleaned out. After that I took a whole apple, quarter of a yellow bell pepper, a thick slice of a spanish white onion and layed it out inside the butterflied heart. Once the heart was full I closed it up by bringing the two ends together and to keep it closed I used some toothpicks to hold it all together nice and tight so the slices of vegetables and fruit wont fall out. I finished it all of by wrapping it in aluminum foil and cooking it for 35 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees in the oven. Then to add a little char to the outsides by throwing it in a hot skillet with some butter and salt. Just long enough to give it some color on the outside. It was a medium rare when it was all said and done and now the heart is one of my favorite things to eat from a deer.

The Kawasaki side by side is really nice, I don't have one but my buddy owns one and we use the polaris rangers at work so between those two, the Kawasaki Teryx is really nice and I believe you can get it with a 700 motor.

I like the plain old bino harness from Sportsmans warehouse, it's fits snug and works great for me. I don't know anything about the two you mentioned.

Kings desert shadow is my top pick, the max-1 is good too though. I only buy/have those two camo patterns, well, nevermind I have a kings mountain shadow long sleeve shirt that is nice to. In shorter words I like kings camo the best, and very inexpensive.

Haha! Us hunters are such horrible people, why can't we just eat our meat without killing the poor animal?! Haha I can't believe the stupidity of some people.

Great job on that buck! Awesome shot too, those long range shots sure are fun!

Anyone else heading into 35B this weekend? Looks like we'll have some decent weather this weekend so good luck to everyone hunting. If y'all happen to see a red ford and a white dodge with cwt stickers feel free to stop in and show off your bucks. We're getting all our stuff ready for what should be a great weekend!

A little update, killed a nice 2x3 on Sunday morning, still looking for another buck. Have been seeing a good buck to doe ratio just nothing that we've wanted to shoot at. So far a good hunt. Hopefully everyone else in 35B is doing well. Will post story and pics when hunt is over.

Maybe G&F will let hunters kill lions in that area without a tag, yay! That will never happen...

Awesome buck, congrats to you.

Yes sir, that was us. Was headed home through the fort. Had a good weekend, got one buck down and still looking for one more.

Seeing good numbers of bucks, got one buck down this morning. Will post story and pics after the hunt ends or after we fill the second tag.
