We closed out our BP season this morning with a double kill. Took the niece and the boss hunting this morning, we all sat in the big stand and it looked like a bust. Then around 11 we saw our first doe coming in so we got comfortable and waited. Before she got in range several followed her out of the brush and toward the turnip patch.. I wasnt armed so I just more or less just acted as a guide, the girl is right, it is just as much fun anymore to help as it is to be the one who has to clean the critter LOL. The girl was using my long Pen rifle and the boy was using his just finished rebuilt rem 700ML -- we did it for smokeless powder -- He is not impressed with it for the money he spent.
Anywho she shot hers first and as it died his doe stepped out and he took it. I cant say anything bad about the rifle it does what he wanted I just think he had visions of things we didnt see.. the doe died after a few steps not much more one could ask. I think he was expecting it to actually knock one down or die in a spectacular way -- nope just take two steps and laid down.. Then the two clowns went into preteen mode... the girl started it by flinging a small blood clot his way and the next thing I know they are tossing guts at each other.. OK I was laughing and staying well out of range myself. Got the the deer hung and skinned then I sent them in to shower and get clean duds on. I am still hearing it was my fault for not stopping the fun sooner..
We did out normal and fired up the grill and cooked some of the liver fresh --- I got mine and was munching on it when the others came out for theirs - I just pointed at the wienie roasting sticks and said get at it.. I did help the runt but the others were all on their own. Now we are trying to decide how much will be jerky LOL.. Son and 1 daughter went to the lease - we have pork now too.. I think we will need to put most of the pork in jars, the freezer are getting full and we still have rifle season to go. Need to get more of the frozen veggies in jars too.. I know I put 5 or 6 walmart bags of tomatoes in freezer for canning..
