First deer

Konstantin · 12-23-2013, 07:04 AM

My oldest got his first deer yesterday. He did a great job, she fell in her tracks on his first ever shot at a deer. Couldn't have been a better shot, right through the heart. He turned 17 last week, I gave him the Mauser for his birthday. I'm still figure out the whole picture posting thing, so please forgive me if I don't do it correctly.

No problems, you'll get the posting thing figured out. You probably just need to resize the pic down to a little but smaller one.

Nothing taste better than your first deer. He'll be hooked now.

Congrats to the boy! Now see if he can do an equally good job dressing it then processing it!

Thanks. Dressing and processing are the easy part, the first job I ever had was at a custom processing house. He has been helping me process meat for friends and relatives for most of his life now. He could probably bone and cut by himself by now but he can't paper wrap to save his life.

Hell buy him a used vacuum packer @ a garage sale. When he sees the prices of bags he'll figure out butcher wrapping pretty quick!

I have always wanted one of those, but the price if the bags is the turn off for me.

That's why you can find them on the cheap @ garage/yard sales.

Congratulations!

He did better than I did, this year.

I have a crew working down in Ruidoso, and they have deer standing around watching them. One buck felt froggy, the other day, and jumped right down in the middle of the crew and wanted to fight/play.

Congrats to dad and son both. I remember when I got my first deer, I don't think I had ever seen my dad that excited before.

I remember my 'first' deer also.
That's plural.
