The Old Man of The Woods

After hunting hard all seaon long with only 1 week left in my time to hunt I was able to take this old boy Fri the 21st. Amazingly he was still chasing does. I took him on some new property we just bought. The deer was about 6 or 7 years old and was really beat up his left ear was torn about 3 inches and had about 15 different scars on his body.He was old and past his prime, you can't see it to well in the pics but not only his face but his neck was also starting to grey out. I'm not sure what I'll do with him, right now he's at the taxidermists. I'm thinking shoulder mount it just seems right to show him like that since he was around for so long.

Hunting Tip: Bear Proofing Your Food Stash

I learned this the hard way last year. If you're hunting in an area with lots of bear activity, it's a great idea to stash your food and water up in a tree. I like to wrap everything in a tarp and tie it between two trees. Don't just tie it up in one tree but tie it in between two trees at least 15 feet in the air. I thought I had my backpacking camp's food supply stashed pretty well last year. I returned to camp during the first weekend of archery to find all my food destroyed. Make sure...
