Got a deer opening day of gun season

[pposey]

Turned out to be a good day, after setting in the tree stand for 4.5 hours I was outa there at 10am, cant remember the last time i sat that long,,,had seen one squirrel, thats all,,,, started still hunting and 30 mins later shot the below critter,,,, not a monster but the kids are already debating wether we should can the meat or make Jerky,, think some of both and the backstraps and loins for pan frying. Good shot on running deer, in through the top of the shoulder and out behind the other shoulder...critter was angling toward,, below me on a ridge side.
LOng drag out, critter is quartered and in the beer and deer fridge, and I'm going to bed.

Yep, I usta carry all my deer out either boned out in the hide or in a backpack,,,, but the kids get such a kick outa them that I take the efffffort to bring out the whole critter for them,, hopefully it will be worth it in the long run
