Yeah....she's no whopper like some of our Shrewhaven does, or even some of these fat farm deer. I passed a much bigger doe earlier that sit, but she had twin fawns in tow. This one came in alone, didn't look to be a fawn (she's not, she's year and a 1/2), and she kept posing for that perfect shot. I had it in my head I wanted to kill a deer yesterday....perfect weather, lots of time to butcher today....so I did it.

I don't know if other folks think like this....but I was especially satisfied with the shot. The fletching blossomed exactly where I wanted it to, complete pass through with Kustom Kings Trailmaker head, and the blood trail was amazing. I followed it for the short 20 yards (even though I saw her fall) and it was pretty great.

Tracking lesson re-emphasized....pay attention! She was in that transitional tall weedy field stuff between a swamp and a picked bean field. I was in a pine tree at the edge of the swamp. Even though her blood loss was massive and quick, I could see how difficult it COULD have been through those tall weeds. The dry, woody weeds seemed to soak up the blood quickly. Also, even though I knew EXACTLY where she fell, when I got down there, it took me a minute or so before I could see her. I actually backed myself up 10 feet and realigned myself with the blood trail.

Tall overgrown fields continue to be my least favorite tracking terrain.

That's the kind of blood trail I like: short and bright red! Good shot Roger. I haven't had a shot opportunity yet this season. The wind was too fierce and in the wrong direction for me this evening, so I'm hoping for better weather tomorrow.

Did a venison football roast last sunday in the slow cooker. 7 hours to cook it & 30 minutes to watch it disappear. Rog, looks like you'll need another deer to keep that one company.

Fine Table Fare! Neck roasts are good slow roasted   with veggies, and in a few cups of wine, pulled of the spine and mixed in the juices it makes then on a good bun, a beer and a football game.

I have never done a neck roast! I always cut as much off as I can and add it to the grindage. I sure need to try a roast in the slow cooker. Congrats on the great shot and meat!

Neck roast was my Grandfathers favorite cut.
