WHITETAIL HUNT

A NICE FIVE POINT WHITETAIL WAS TAKEN OFF WILLIAM BROWN FARM LAST SUNDAY (AS WELL AS A COUPLE SQUIRRELS FOR A GAME PIE CRAFTED BY ARCHIVAL CLOTHINGS' OWN TOM BONAMICI). SO AFTER THE DEER WAS FIELD DRESSED IT WAS OFF TO MY UPSTATE PROCESSOR GARY AT KRANTZ'S KUSTOM MEATS. GARY HAS PROCESSED PIGS FOR ME IN THE PAST AND IT IS SUCH A PRO OPERATION. JUDGING BY THE LAST PIC IT WAS EPIC FIRST WEEK FOR HUNTERS NEAR ME UPSTATE NY.
