In fact, I really didn't think I'd get a deer this season at all since I can't shoot does in Lee county, Yes you can, get you a bow or crossbow and get after it in october, that said aren't antler restrictions great! I do have a crossbow and I did hunt in October but didn't kill anything. I did miss a doe, which is in the video above. The doe compressed and the arrow went right over it's back. I'm learning you really have to aim low.

Quick update on the meat processing... I've been processing every evening for the last few days and the idea of mixing hog with venison has worked out really well. Food town regularly sells pork fat trimmings for .79/lb, so I bought 6-7 lbs of fat, and mixed 60/40 venison/hog with about 25% pork fat. I've used this combo to make Italian meat balls, pre-seasoned taco meat(no pork fat, olive oil instead), jalapeno and onion link sausage, breakfast sausage and some amazing chili. All VERY good with a great texture.
Still need to make is some hog BS jerky and some bacon burgers, and smoke the link sausage. It's a lot of work, but provides a ton of food all year long, to eat and give away, so it's worth it and it beats using a processor since I can get all the recipes and seasonings just like I want them.
