Scruffy's ultra 20's first kill
« on: December 07, 2004, 06:16:31 AM »
Here she is, doe shot with Federal 3" barnes expander sabot, 35 yards, broadside, from stable rest in my tree stand.  In one lung, out the other, went 70 yards.  She'll be in the freezer before dark!  She's currently hanging on the boom on the back of one of my tractors.  After bit I'll run to town to get stuff to wrap the meat in then start slicing!

I think she'll make ALOT of jerky!!!  :grin:

Oh yea, lots of meat to make jerky out of this weekend.  And I think I'll have bbq loin for lunch on Saturday.  8)

She sure was a biggen.  Each hind quarter overflowed a 1 gallon ice cream bucket I was using for butchering, probably 1.5 gallons of meat per hind quarter.  And I've never seen loins so big!

And surprisingly, not very much fat on her!!!  She was almost all muscle!

Her name was Bertha Doe....  :lol:

Here's a pic of my "deer boom", lol.  It made it easy to lift her up, move her around, etc, for skinning, drove her over the garden hose, washed her down, drove back to the deck for butchering, then carried what was left out to the burn pile for the coyotes to pick clean.  

Man I wish it was a full moon right now...  :wink:

Scruffy that deer boom is a killer idea! As soon as I move out to the boonies I'm gonna build one. The last couple deer I've shot were chosen by their closeness to were I could get my 2 wheel drive truck. If the deer figured out that all they had to do was stand 50yards into a briar patch I'd never get one. If it was the buck of a lifetime of course he'd be toast.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun
