first deer of the year

not the biggest guy on the farm but he be good for canning.... as a matter fact he at the butcher as we speak getting cut into stew meat less the backstraps and sweet meat killed with compound bow at 15 yds.

well as the good ol' boys in Arkansas told me once, you cant eat the horns.

congrats man

Congrats man!!! That is one more than I have been able to get this year.

Nice Job Bill, any kill with a bow is a trophy in my book!
Sometimes it just feels really good to get some meat on the ground, and I've usually got mine already in the freezer by the time rifle season rolls around. Well, not this year........I've had a crappy season as far as deer sightings go. So with that said, I'd put a spike down with my bow in a heartbeat right at the moment.

Why don't you have some burger made, or sausage?
I just skinned, quartered, and deboned my 8pt. this morning and took all the meat over to the processor to have 20lb. of deer sausage made and the rest ground into burger. Of course, it would have probably been tough anyway so the burger and sausage was the way to go with him.

We ate the sweet loin for supper tonight and MAN.......talk about Good! mmmmmmm....... I'm full as a tick right now

nice deer thats some good eating!!
