Congrats

You know though, 2 deer means twice the dragging and twice the work :)

Yes, tell me about it, I'm pretty bagged right now. Had to drag them out about a km to my truck and load them up. Gonna have a real nice whiskey tonight and sleep in tomorrow for sure.

Congrats on the does!

Not sure if you cut them yourself or not but the good part about late season is that they will not go bad hanging in the garage for a few days.

True enough. Butchering is beyond my scope so the deer are at the processors now. They even skin them out too which is a little less work for me. Can't wait to try the garlic sausages and medium pepperettes. One stop shopping.

We used to take them in but our butcher stopped doing it a number of years back, the best thing that could have happened. We only butcher our own now, we make the cuts we want and my wife and I actually mix out own sausage too, delicious, but it is not for everyone.

Skinned a Doe yesterday while it was still warm...slick and easy. But buddy wanted to wait to butcher it. I cautioned the -12 forecast for the night and how hard that will make it to butcher...he wisely opted for the 'professional' method and is taking it in to have it done. Best $75 he'll ever spend :)

Congrats on the pair

My garage being attached to the house still has not frozen at night.

Good eats there. That's what I love about hunting. You never know how your season is going to go & one min your down in the dumps & the next min your spirits are lifted & your firing up the BBQ... :)
