Rupps 2nd day region 5 deer hunt

[srupp]

Second day for us 2019 deer season..helped another hunter pull his 2x2 buck to the rd at 3.30..
By 6 pm one shot from .270 with 140 boattail and we had a 4x4 mulie buck down right beside a road..lol.
200 yard one shot dropped him harvest. ..
My 30 year friend and my lab Ebony were there to watch it go down.
Having supper then some work and enjoy waidmannsheil..hunters celebration with my German friend.
Photos soon.
Cheers

Lol yes couple of slices into the back legs, and used my electric boat loader to lift him onto the lowered tailgate...no lifting required. .total distance dragged..zero feet..
Was looking for a meat buck..got that in spades...big well conditioned body, one shot no meat wasted..
Total time from shot. .photos. .grellick...load and off home..45 minutes..cancell license too..
Liver was rinsed and cut. .patted dry and frozen in 4mm chamber sealer bags...last night..doesnt get fresher.
The body not only was large, fat..hmmmmm but really good tone of flesh..set up really well..used 70 % water..30 % vinigar last night to clean..however cleanest field dressing I can remember. .virtually no blood. .on inside or outside of carcass.
Knives are sharp, totes are out plus cutting apron..lots of 4mm chamber sealer bags..
It was unbelievably great day..and having Detlef alongside to witness this whole wonderful adventure..a grouse and bunny day for our dog Ebony closed the season on deer..Sunday..Horsefly for rabbits. .grouse...brown colored black bear...
My friend Detlef is here ..his wife of 40 years has passed on..this was his attempt to revisit his friends Susan, Steven..cali sheep, brown colored black bears, northern lights, barb que sauce..seeing first rainbow trout, netting some trout..first trout dinner..spotting deer, and Detlef spotted this buck first..good to see him laugh, smile in spite of a crushed heart and empty world .
And of course every day hunters stopping by on the way to and from hunts.
Thank you for your kind words .
Cheers

[Arctic Lake]

Would also add that it looks like a great skining job !

[BRvalley]

Very nice, congrats

[srupp]

Hmmmm hi Phil...your absolutely correct, again..the deer I harvested in Alberta last year and this one do look like twins..really close..I will post a photo of side by side..
so we slept in and then completely cut up the entire deer, using the chamber sealer..also did up the trimmings into burger material. .mixed with pork roast ground up and mixed with deer grinds.
backstrap is seasoned and in the fridge for barbque tomorrow night.
Phil..it was a wonderful hunt to get this buck...as with all hunts with friends that are successful it will be a treasured memory..however nothing can compare to last years AMAZING ALBERTA ADVENTURE with you and your son Nathan..and other hunts with you..all very special..thank you.
Cheers

Ya it was a Good time , we should have stuck around at the farm and hunted Whiteys for a few more days though....
Now its your turn to do a Euro mount on this Buck...Simply skin , remove bottom jaw, slow boil and pressure wash , followed by a Peroxide bath...easy peasey.

Congrats on the buck

I cringe whenever i see someone cut out the antlers. Doing a Euro is so easy and looks way cooler.

Gratuliere zum erfolg!

Yup, the germans love it here, especially at this time of year.
Too bad they find it so hard to immigrate here, as many would if they could!

Been here 13 years now :)
Best thing we ever did!!

[srupp]

My German's a little rusty......."his wifes farts are to die for"?

Hmmm unfortunate choice of words..completely innocent joke..however Detlef was here because his wife of 40 years died of cancer and he wanted some rest and relief for his mental health. .
No bad feelings for the innocent joke ..just missed.
And yes I think he would move here if things were just a bit different in his life at this time .
The trip was a total success..the 9 # rainbow on fly, and 4 x4 mule deer were merely icing on the cake along with Susans amazing gourmet meals.
Appreciate all the kind words.
Cheers

[srupp]

So..have tried the backstrap. .Incredible ! I happen to really love deer meat..best ever was on Alberta hunt..cold..whitetails were on winter wheat ? Absolutely wonderful. ..this year's mule deer was in an area with no alphalpha fields..yet was incredibly fat, marbled throughout..once cooled it set up quick and made butchering easier.have no idea why this buck turned out so well ?
been far colder since june, lots of rain..means good moisture on his food...showing in high fat content....single shot dropped him , and immediate field dressing, followed by head and hide removed. .washed down with 30 % white vinager / 70 % water..butchered 2 days later after storage in cold garage with some air movement...but thats what I try to do every year.
No idea why this guy turned out awesome .
Any suggestions what may make a noticable difference in outcome ?
thanks, cheers

Hi Phil..I believe him on the big Mulies, whiteys..yaaa im gonna need photos for the hogs..lol
For what he showed us..he knew his stuff..and the area
The best deer meat was from your kindness hunter hosting me at Reds place..the early morning whitetail you helped me harvest on the winter wheat ? Hands down best deer meat ever.
Thank you again Bro.
Cheers
Steven

[Springer]

Yes i have to agree , I prefer Whitetail over Mulies as well....especially the little ones i keep ending up with. If i ever get a day off again i hope to get out Bow Hunting.
Blaze hasn't been able to close the gap or get a decent Body shot of "Ol Tracks"...but im getting more footage of the Muley that got away each year..

[srupp]

Hmmmm decided to enter my mulie in the rod and gun club contest..not that he is the biggest..but there are draws..prizes for entering.
got ahold of the scorer. .got my paperwork together..and a oh shit moment..lol
I shot my mulie on Oct 3...my renewal for the rod and gun club membership was due Sept 25...
Missed it by 8 days..was not a paid up member in good standing at the time of the harvest .
Embarrassing to say the least..however it saves my buddy from the club from having to measure it..
Feel very silly. .
Cheers

Peace
