Work has me pretty busy right now, but I hope to be able to do a weekend spring bear hunt this month.

Wasn't sure if this should go in hunting, cooking, gardening, here, etc...
Edit: buying a dehydrator
Have a kinda crappy one. Want a nice one. Anyone have experience? The Excalibur brand gets good reviews, but the plastic makes me shy away from it.
Anyway, instead of creating a thread, cross posting it.

Got my first deer this weekend (whitetail). First hunt, got really lucky. Walked around the woods in some public lands here in Texas for about 3 hours before finding any fresh sign. Came across a doe moving around, found a well used game trail and squirted some doe urine around and on my boots. Posted up about 80 yds and within twenty minutes an 8 point buck moved in and gave me an easy shot. Right through the heart, clean kill. Holy fuck though, packing out that much from two miles deep was rough on my 46 year old knees.

My co worker hunts turkeys, in fact I think that is what he is doing this weekend... thanksgiving and all
I should go with him...but like, I do not have a rifle... I have an AR...but...no one wants to be that guy shooting turkeys with a self inflated 22 ;-)

I think turkey is always done with a shotgun

ask your buddy about that. If rifles are cool, ask him where to shoot and if you're accurate enough with it, go for it. I don't hunt turkey but I think rifle hunters try to hit them in the head because body shots ruin too much meat.

Did you cook some up and eat it right away? I haven't done that in years. The people I used to hunt with would do that. First deer killed was camp meat. There were always at least a dozen of us at the camp. When I was with my uncle, he'd cut out the backstrap right away and my aunt would have it chicken fried by the time we got done cleaning the deer.

Afaik shotgun hunters shoot them in the head too. Lol
Going to try turkey hunting for the first time this year. Have at least two nests of them on our land. Flocks. Whatever. Lol
Supposed to be really hard to hunt.

it is archery Season in my area, so far no luck on my few times out (life interferes...or i oversleep on saturday) i have a 2 buck limit, no does for tags.
hopefully with my new "run and gun" tree saddle setup i can find a good spot to try this weekend as i try a new wild life management area nearby that i have briefly scounted but have not hunted yet. looking at the topo maps and sat images i think i have 2-3 spots i can setup around.
