Given my boys failed to draw tags for our home unit, they had to settle for doe tags in the area we hunt turkeys. Since the wife and I had buck tags we spent the opening weekend back home so this past Saturday morning it was the their turn.
Short version:
- both boys had their does down by mid-morning.
- the youngest one continues his streak of one shot per deer. The streak is now at 4.
- the oldest boy learned a lesson about shot placement and how much difference a couple of inches can make.
- the above resulted in a number of lessons learned including a bit about tracking and how tough deer are.
- by Saturday afternoon the boys had them hung in the shop and skinned out so they were cooled and ready to butcher after church on Sunday morning.
- fresh cubed tenderloins combined with broccoli, shrimp, and angel hair pasta topped with alfredo sauce makes a great supper. :)
I am a bad dad as I forgot to get pictures of the youngest with his deer as he took care of it all and drug it to the road all by himself while I was locating a doe for the oldest boy. Here are a few pictures and a video from the oldest boy's deer though.
