So am I! I'm probably going out with my buddy Saturday evening, try to get him on his first deer.
Live from the stand!

I am not. BUT. . . with 2 weeks off for Christmas break and soccer over, I put a bug in my son's ear yesterday. Asked him if he wanted to go shooting while on break. He smiled and said "Yeah. Maybe. It sounds like fun." So I pushed the envelope. "What about shooting your crossbow some and trying a hunt or two?" Shrugged his shoulders and said "That sounds fun too." Would be well worth it to hit the stand again if he wanted to get out. Crossing my fingers.

Got the skull pretty clean, now I'm just gonna whiten with some hydrogen peroxide and hopefully it'll look good
Looks good! Did you make sure to pick out all the cartilage in the nasal cavity?
I think I got this tip from Ric and Ron, place paper towels over the top of the skull while soaking it in peroxide. Use a "booger sucker" to keep them wet. That way you don't have to stick the whole skull in and risk getting the antler bases whitened.

Ya thanks guys, that's the plan. My dad did one on my first and only whitetail buck a few years ago so we already have some of that 40% peroxide salon stuff. I was up til past midnight trying to get all that crap out of the sinuses, not most peoples idea of a good Saturday night lol. It definitely would've been easier with a pressure washer

Good luck to anyone still out. On one hand, I understand the frustration of not filling a tag yet but on the other hand I sort of envy you. I haven't been hunting in a month and I'm really missing it. I think I may try to spread my tags out over a longer period next year. September is a long way away.
