Well this was my first crossbow hunt and I am 1:1. This doe is on the
small side and nothing to brag about...Except in great eating. Which is
what I was after. My three year drought was dragging on like a bad
reunion or something. Glad it's gone and just in time with only a
couple weeks in the bow season left. I was fortunate enough to be
gifted a crossbow at Christmas and while they probably make the bow
hunting purist throw-up. I have to say I like them and they do the job
fine. I may do a post later on the bow. We'll see. Anyways. Just a
few pics for this one of my spot and the harvest. The convex Redlore
knife worked great in boning out the meat. It was the perfect size and
the point was dropped enough it wasn't an issue. Couldn't have been
more pleased with it.
The deer came up and was right behind that downed tree to the right in the below pic, and left in the above pic
Getting to work with the redlore!
Well
I got it home and just got done butchering it up nice and in the
freezer. It was a great evening to take in and I am happy. This is
probably the smallest deer I have taken and it feels like the hardest
earned. Funny how that goes...
thanks for looking
Congrats! I bet the kids were excited, too.
ReplyDeleteOf Course. They were disappointed in the antlers department though. LOL!
DeleteHey, looks like a good deer to me! Congrats, on the food and the bow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Corey. Next season should be much busier for me. That should mean more outings posts as well. Thanks for checking in!
