Deer soup

Here is another 8 yo's first deer...dang!

Didnt even know that you hunt Mark.

from the looks of it Mark you have shot alot of nice deer.

Sorry for the confusion. I knew what I was thinking but didn't convey it properly. The future inlaws hunt; I don't. They beg me to go with them. I could show up 1/2 hour before the sun comes up, blast one in less than an hour and be home by breakfast is what they tell me; I'd rather sleep in. I have no desire to just sit in the woods.

They hunt black powder, bow and shotgun (no rifle in MD; only in western MD maybe/I think). They could fill that wall in less than a week if they wanted (and if it were legal). I only snapped that pic because of the "I love my Triton" sticker (he has a fish boat) but the wall is pretty full all the way around to the right. He saw 18 deer the day he shot the one in the pot this past Saturday and was out of the woods by 3PM. She saw 12 before plucking off the one with the horns touching (shotgun season 2-3 weeks ago) and was out of the woods by Noon.

They donate all the meat to feed the homeless but every so often will get some tenderloins or jerky made.

LOL @ Cuda! A cook can f up beef and it still be eatable; venison you have to know what you are doing to make it taste good. Bad venison is worse than liver (which I hate); good venison is better than beef but not as good as bison IMHO.

Roger that.
With the right deer, and proper preparation, venison can be mighty fine.

They like to shoot the big ones; I keep telling them the little ones make better eatin' but they don't listen!

 

[cigdaze]

Agree. The big ones are for trophies. The smaller ones are prime for eating.

A yearling whitetail roasted whole in a hog roaster if done right will make you never want to eat any other type of meat again. :drool:

Tommy Gun, Where are you hunting. That's a nice buck....especially for an 8 yr old!...Maybe my son can tag along with you next year!

 

[ar15meister]

Sorry to hear that...these took a total of 5 hours this year.

I havent had any luck.

Hopefully I get one this weekend in the swamp!:cheers2:

This was my best year hunting ever! Seeing my 8 year old get his first deer!

VERY VERY cool. Nothing like taking a kid hunting.

I would like to see that in action. I always feel bad shooting the little ones tho...
