Our daughter invited me down to do some bow hunting in the woods behind her house. I drove down Sunday.
Got in to one of their hanging stands at 3pm. About 3:30, I saw a large doe come from my left, about 50yds out. She walked behind some trees/brush and never came out. I figured she walked straight away from me. About 4:15 she reappeared from behind the trees and walked towards me. By this time, another doe was in front of me, offering a shot. I decided the first doe was bigger so waited.
The first doe steps between two trees I had ranged at 25yds earlier. I drew n fired. The doe turned, ran about 20yds, then fell over. The second doe ran to my right and away. A third doe I had not seen also jumped and ran.
I gutted it and then my Son-in-law helped me drag it up and out. I skinned it out and let it cool while we both watched the Vikings lose another game. I finished processing the doe this morning.
Now to work on another doe. Told the kids they can shoot the bucks.

Nice Tom.
Fill that freezer and smoker.

Congrats! I bet the weather was perfect. I’m hoping to spend a little more time with the bow over the next year and get back to where I was.

I’m hunting in a CWD zone so all meat has to be deboned. Cannot take any bones out of the area. No problem as I have been doing my own processing since I started hunting.

Weather down here almost too good. Wish we had snow but am sure it’s on the way.

Good job Tom. Are you making any deer Bologna this year? There are quite a few states that you have to debone the deer because of CWD.

Yeah. Had to debone it just to take it 120 miles north in the same state.

My couple of buds that hunt with me in the old camp live in Va. and have to have the deer processed before taking across State lines. I've always processed my own in state. I did have to dump one years back that was obviously contaminated. Heartbreaking to do.

Rambo: Sir; 😃 another successful outing 🦌. And 🧐 keeping your ✂🔪 😃 skills fresh 🤓

 

[Rambo]

Let her walk…..looking for her mother.

 

[Rambo]

Tastes so good!!!! Bacon wrapped back straps and filet.

 

[ChaZam]

Gosh it looks good Tom.
That asparagus is probably my favorite vegetable...

Early to rise. Let this buck walk this morning. Daughter has her eye on it. Had three yearlings come in behind me on neighboring property. Going back out this afternoon.

How old is she now Tom?
It's hard to believe how time slips by and the next thing you know they aren't really kids anymore.

This is our 42year old daughter Valerie’s place. Our Jaidyn is only 13. Jaidyn isn’t pulling enough poundage in bow to kill a deer yet.

I’d a shot that buck in a heartbeat, just letting y’all know. But I gave my word…….😘

 

[neophyte]

Rambo: Sir; 😁 walking groceries 😜.
again 😃 Being outside 🤩

Saw two this morning. One at 75yds, other gave me a shot at 30-35 yds. It was a yearling so let it walk. Now I’m thinking just shoot two yearlings and call it a hunt.

I would definitely be considering that option also Tom.
That is unless there were some old ones that needed culled.

 

[Rambo]

Got one. Not sure how it’s gonna taste! 😅
