I shoot her at 100 yrds with my .308 browning a-bolt I would have rather harvested her the primitive way , but I need to feed my little ones and after shooting 6 arrows at 5 deer I needed to use my not so primitive backup.. Micah

gotta do what ya gotta do when ya need to feed the family. No offense taken.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

yep, I had to put the bow away when gun season came in to put some meat in the freezer for the winter.
killed a decent sized spike buck opening morning with the shotgun.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I'm just ticked I haven't been able to do the same thing yet.  Good job, that one will eat good for sure!

 My hunting time is limited this year, I'm doing the same thing.

 Pat, I'll be at Chris' this weekend. Leaving here tomorrow night. Good luck.

This is actualy the 5th deer to be put in the frezer:I shot one earlyer,a friend killed on with a bow and one with a riffle, some guy stoped at the church and droped one off, and this one. All of them I took the time to collect the sinew from :o ;D ;)so I guess that will make up for shooting them with a gun ::)My dad bought a meat grinder and left it at my house and I put about 25 # into hamberger so that is good. Hopfully we won't run out of meat this time :)

If I had a good meat grinder I'd grind everything but the back straps.  ;D
  Eddie, we will be less than an hour from each other.  I'll be just outside of Stevens GA.  Good hunting this weekend. Second rut should be starting, a cold front passing and cold clear days to follow. However, the full moon just past too.

When it comes right down to it, meat in the pot, is meat in the pot. Kinda like the bird in hand is better than three in the bush.

I'm offended by my own states regulations which will not let me switch weapons. if you get an archery deer tag you may only use a bow for that year. my late season starts tomorrow, but it's wind and rain season here in WA...

When the deer meat stock gets low at the Krewson household I hunt more with my flintlock than my selfbow, can't live without my deer meat.

For 20 years I gave my sister-in-law a processed deer for Christmas. If Christmas was fast  approaching and I didn't have her a deer, my Remington 700 in .308 came out of the closet. My sister-in-law's grandkids have grown up to be deer killing machines so I was able to abandon this yearly tradition. I started the practice when she worked in a sewing sweat shop and a deer to eat was a luxury.
