Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Went up to Floyd County to stay with my old hunting partner Dan of 25 years in Ashburn.  Dan moved outside Roanoke 3 years ago.  Got there a little after noon and we scouted around some.  I found a spot that looked good and got in the woods around 3:30 with my muzzleloader.  About 5 pm a 4 pointer walks in behind me.  I twist like a pretzel in the stand and get a good shot.


Next morning we get in our stands before sunrise.  It is regular rifle season now.  Dan shoots around 7 am and gets a spike.  About and hour later two does walk right towards down a trail.  I get both.  One of them is huge.

We spend the morning skinning deer.  And then take 2 of the heads to the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) testing station for manditory testing that day.  They pulled the lymph glands in the neck to test.  We get results in around 2 weeks.  Disease does not transfer to humans.

Now a fridge full of my 3 deer to take home Monday morning.

Took me almost 4 hours to process all that meat at home.......definitely stocked up with venison for a while!
