Deer down

[BilletHead]

    My heart just has not been into it the last three years. I still buy a archery license and go. Never been a trophy hunter going for meat. In the 48 years bowhunting I have taken some good ones but never took it to the limit hunters do now. I finally got the urge and Pat and I did some trail prepping and even put up another stand yesterday. I was going to start this evening but got short stopped. We got up early and ate breakfast and had coffee. I took my plate to the kitchen and Pat said the buck she seen yesterday was behind the house again. She says get your crossbow cocked. I laughed watching him nose into the air traveling with a purpose looking for a girlfriend. Deer have been going nuts here for over a week. No way he's going to stop. Well he did taking a break eating locust pods. It's like candy for deer. I got the bow and cranked it up, put the arrow on the rail. Window open I pushed the chair out of the way while the buck munched away. I guessed 35 yards a let one fly. In an instant I seen it hit the spot. Off he bolted. We started laughing out loud until tears rolled. This is my first one out the window, Pat shot a doe out the bedroom window that was eating crabapples once. We had not even been outside yet. Shoes and boots on. A very short blood trail like in less than 40 yards. It even died in the trail we mowed. LoL,

  My blind 🤣.

Where the deer was,

  Where it ended up,

     Getting ready to grill the tenderloins.

 Good for him. It's nice to live rural.

Organic groceries. You guys will eat well. I know that the meat will not go to waste.

Congrats Marty! Nice buck and some good eats right there.

Dang it I was hoping you'd bring them by the place.

To add to the day grilling those tenderloins with the gut pile in the background.

  Ahhh but we aren't done yet. Eating those tenderloins on the back porch with the gut pile in the background. 

 Pat made some mushroom sauce from some of the hen of the woods we found. Life really is good in BilletHeadVille.
