I noticed that as well goose.  whatever I kill this year will be above I80 and between district 5 and 1.  I am heading north on thurs morn.  plannin on doin some grouse and turkey hunting till friday night and then plan on hitting it hard friday night into sat morn.  depending on what I come up with will depend on if I will be making it to checkin or to the luncheon.
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: bigben on November 09, 2010, 02:26:12 PM
two questions.  can I skin my animals.  and also can anyone checkin critters at lunch if they cant make it to the checkin the next day? 
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: Lookn4Fur on November 09, 2010, 03:14:32 PM
Was wondering about the skinning also?  It's supposed to be warm.  May have to freeze them otherwise.
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: bigben on November 09, 2010, 03:18:53 PM
which both situations present a problem for me.  I don't have anyway to freeze or keep cool.  I can skin a critter out and stick in a bag in the cooler however. 
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: uncle buck on November 09, 2010, 11:11:26 PM
The Glace boys use to keep them on dry ice.. Made me laugh they open the containers and had to wear rubber gloves so not to get burned.  However it worked.. It kept the critters fresh....
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: Pa Goosehntr on November 10, 2010, 06:14:18 AM
I've seen them skunned in past years.. :-\..I hope we can skun them.. :(..Coyotes don't like to turn loose of their hide anyway, and when cold it's nasty... :-[

     Question is: round or skunned, are they both legal for check-in? ???
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: Lookn4Fur on November 10, 2010, 08:39:55 AM
Not really UB, those things were rank everytime I saw them.  Would bet there was some problems with some of them slipping later.  If they skinned them?
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: bigben on November 10, 2010, 08:45:20 AM
thats what I was thinking.  they were pretty stinky.
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: bootmud on November 10, 2010, 10:59:58 AM
I intend to make the luncheon on  Sat. if at all possible. 

Points or no points if I am fortunate enought to kill something it will be getting skinned as I normally do.  I'm not going to let fur spoil for any reason. ;)

I hear there may be a peeping tom at your cabin Saturday night.  Invite him in for a beer!  Or at least give him something to peep at.

OH, PS, don't shoot him!!
Title: Re: North Central Hunt!
Post by: bootmud on November 10, 2010, 01:53:27 PM
I may be out predator hunting.  He can peep at my dad.  I just don't want to know what he sees! :o

yes if you want to shin your critters you can. I just ask if you can leave the feet on .

as for checking stuff in on sat. at the lunch i would prefer its only at check-in on Sunday.

I want to thank everyone who donated a door prizes and participated in the hunt hope to see you all again next yr.

As for the winners of the hunt we had a total of 9 fox turned in with Erine Wilson taking first with 7 fox and Bob Rozzo taking 2nd with 1 fox.

The other fox was taken by myself .

Post by: bootmud on November 14, 2010, 10:08:48 PM
Actually there was one more fox harvested...  I wish I could have been at the check in but I had to get home to watch the kids while mother had here time out.

Sat. nite I took this female gray fox.... and get this on my Berkley digital fish scale it weighed 13 lbs. 3 oz.  :o  It literally looked like a coon when skinnin.  There was so much fat I couldn't believe it.  Usually the fox that I skin are hide/meat... not really much fat at all.

Anyhow here's the old gal.. doesn't really look that big without another fox for comparison.
