In my later stages of deer hunting I've found that running the camera is actually more enjoyable than doing the actual shooting. As odd as that sounds and as weird as I feel for saying it...it's the truth!
But that said, I don't think I'm going to be hunting for a while. I just can't get motivated when its 90+ degrees. I've shot 2 deer in early season that ruined before I could do anything with them. I had one that the processor called me to say they threw the deer away because maggots began falling out of it from where the flies had got to it. Approx time from when I shot the deer to dropping it off at the processors...about an hour and a half. I watched the deer fall and climbed straight down and went to it. By the time I got there it already had black and green flies buzzing it. They were all over me when I was F.D.ing the deer and then the yellow jackets came. I didn't think nothing about them having time to lay eggs. A few years later, 2nd week of season....had the same thing happen. I don't like killing them just to be killing them; would rather use them for freezer meat and it's just too risky for me in the 90 degree heat.
need to get an arm that goes on the tree :grin:
