The Brown is Down

[Guest]

I finally scored a deer this evening, right after work. 

Killed a fatty doe with archery at 45 yards. At first, I didn't find any blood & it was getting dark. I was worried that I missed due to the long shot or the rain might wash away the blood. After 20 minutes, I started walking big circles in the woods & stumbled across splattered blood. Never found the arrow, but I found her piled up about 50 yards from where I last saw her. She was laying in grandpas junk pile, must've tripped over the carpet. Lol 

I've never seen the in-laws so happy until tongiht. It took 2hrs 20 minutes from the time I released the arrow until grandma got back strap in the skillet. Helluva good way to start off the Christmas holiday.

I should saved the deer hair for jig tying. Anybody kill a deer & use the hair versus store bought bucktail?

Northern deer have better hides for tying. Cheap enough, cleaned, and already died from Wapsi.
