Yeah....I once did all that labeling but I've gotten lazy over the years. HA!!! It is always a good idea to label BUT with the way we eat meat when it is available, there's really no need to label cuz it isn't around long enough. I will not get to hunt much and wanted to take this deer for the trip coming up. I have devoted most of the back-straps and such to jerky.....but it'll probably not make it to the trip if I make it now. HA!!!
As for bow hunting....I can help you in that area as much as you have helped me with my fantastic lil' blue tractor. I left it over on the huntin' place by the way. It isn't covered but I did put a plastic fertilizer bag over the gear shifts where the hydrolic/transmission plug is so that rain won't get in. I've been meaning to bring it home but haven't gotten around to that or welding the broken connector to one of my bush hogs.
As you like being a "self fix-it kind of guy" you'll probably appreciate this. I service my own bows, fletch my own arrows and even build bows so if you'll look at my Darton closely, you'll see that my string is green. it is green because I made my own bow string from 65lbs Spider Wire. HA!!!! It is the BEST bow string I've ever had and has shown no sign of wear since I made it. Anyway, I do hope you'll pick up bow hunting or at least archery. It is a great sport/pass-the-time with the family and a true adventure when successfully meeting the challenge of bagging a deer with string and stick.
