this was a few years back. We weren't sure how to hang the deer that year. No trees where we were at. So we took an extension ladder ontop of the RV her name was maudine. Anyway the really worked out for us. On the way home that year the rv battery kept dying and we had to jump start with the generator using a power supply for the ham radio. It took us a long time to get home that night. Replaced the voltage regulator and alternator then was fine. Hope to get some stories
Nice looking animals!
I don't know how you guys in warm-weather states deal with spoilage. Where I've hunted for the past 20 years, temperature, typically, isn't a problem. We've had trips where the mercury never reaches 32f with some years, a blizzard. Good news is that "beer drinkin' weather" is usually excellent.
ATM, I don't know where the hunting pics are stored. Imagine a beat-up old TT that the primary attribute is heat (and lots of it). Our party size ranges from 3-4, up to a dozen. We hunt with rifles on a Federally managed Wildlife Refuge. Human entrance is only during Firearm Deer Season. We have dragged many trophy bucks out of the Refuge. Some years, promiscuous hunting is allowed to thin the herds (Does and small bucks allowed, two or three tags available).
Lately, I go for getting my "internal batteries" recharged in the wilderness, more than for venison harvest. I'd be just as happy with a camera and binoculars than a 30.06 with a Leupold.
Good luck on your hunt!
