I will start this one and maybe others can add to it. I have my first doe of the season hanging behind the shop. I sat in the same stand dad saw the big doe at but this one isn't her but she is still big enough I couldn't get her on the atv so I tied a rope around her neck and rug her to the shop. Then I came in and ask Miss Joyce for some help gutting her. We tied the rope that goes through a pulley to her neck and pulled her up with the atv and then tied her off. Ok, it took a few tries before we got it right but she is empty and hanging there waiting on the guys to come in.
I know how to gut a deer its just I don't save the guts the others want to keep. I mean shoot the dogs need to eat too hahaha. Anyway Miss Joyce saved the heart, liver and kidneys to cook later. Ok, the liver will be sliced and we will cook it on weinie roasting forks for lunch. OK for all you that will be freaking out take a deep breath, she will slice it thin to make sure it has no liver flukes or white spots, we are rednecks not mindless zombies.
I didn't take any pictures because its just a doe and nothing special about her. I will let the boys take them if they want when they get in. I know dad got the short end of things today, his hunter has the arm in a cast and he wasn't missing hunting so they rigged him a tall bipod looking thing last night so he can still aim and shoot his rifle. Dad kept trying to talk him into waiting but that didn't even go well. My sister even bribed him to no avail HaHa! Just like her though, she waited until my oldest got back from his football game so they could leave for the lease. Maybe they will both get bucks today, he needs a pick me up - his team got beat last night and he is mad about it. He didn't blame the others, he said he stunk too but its their first real loss this year. Ok they have been beat once before but this time the score was them 14 us 0 and that is what makes him mad, the other team was just that good.
Oh well, I need to clean the rifle. At least I was using dad's Savage so its not all that hard, no soap and water just pull the thing out the back and use the normal cleaning stuff.
