I shot my first rifle deer of the season Saturday morning, 110# live weight doe. She seemed normal in every way until I looked at her head.

She must've broken it at some point, kind-a looks like she was a boxer. Not sure how a deer would break their nose. I'm glad to have her though.

wierd. Maybe she got clipped by a car or something. Good job on putting her down. Should be some excellent meat.
-
Tasty looking deer, George, wierd nose and all. Congratulations.
-
That might make an interesting skull mount George.
-
Man, she might have made an interesting mount. Too late now I'm sure. I shot her up pretty bad as she was quartering pretty hard and I tried to slip a bullet in front of her ham and didn't pull it off like I'd hoped. :-[

I was talking about a Euro mount George. As long as you didn't hit her in the head it would work. I'm glad you are feeling good enough to get out there and put some meat in the freezer. Get back out there and get a buck.
-
She must have just been an amateur boxer, she doesn't have the trademark cauliflower ears yet ;)
It's good to see you're recovered George!
-
I know Clint, but once the yotes are done with the carcus I'll just have to see if the skull is where I can still find it. If I'd thought about that when I was out there I sure could have done it. Good to hear from you Cam, watched your trilam video last night. Love that northern accent. :) I will be trying a laminated bow here soon.
And thanks, I'm a lot better. Every now and then it feels like I have an alien under my ribs trying to claw his way out but other than that it isn't too bad. Been 5 weeks today.

Its amazing the amount of punishment a whitetail can survive. I would have thought she would starve before that healed up enough to eat.

You should tell him. This is Texas after all...I thought the heart was back there. ;D
And thanks.

It takes some skill to hit'em in the bullseye ;D

lol. Right in the 10 ring ;D

Rectum? Heck, it killed 'em!

A Texas heart shot for sure. I spined one from the rear this year,didn't hurt any meat. ' Frank

Y'all crack me up. ;D ;D I'm not sure what that bullet did. I knew the back leg was broken, but instead of finding the big leg bone smashed like I expected, it was just pulled out of the socket. There were 2 exit holes on the same side of the deer as the entrance, but there was also a bunch of blood in the off-side front shoulder. Makes me wonder if the bullet didn't come apart and shrapnel went wherever it wanted? At least I got her and didn't lose very much meat, even out of that hind quarter. We ground up everything but the loins which we steaked out. I'll deliver her to the local food bank tomorrow and then I begin hunting for us. :) They sure like it when I bring in venison right before Thanksgiving. Keeps some folks down on their luck from eating hot dogs for Thanksgiving dinner.

What probably happened George is that she was sniffing the rear end of another deer in the front ...and that one stoped to quick >:D ::) good on ya to bring some of the good stuff to the needy ;)
-
Thats what you get for runnin in the dark. :)
-
True enough. I did have to stop texting, get up off the bed, pick up the gun and take the shot. That made it quite a bit trickier. We rough it in our deer blinds down here. :D

How about one of those Craft-Matic Electric Adjustable Beds? Use the little remote to raise up your head, switch to the other button and raise the foot of the bed to adjust for elevation....BANG!

That thing looks like Rocky Balboa..... We would have called that an "Auburn heart shot" Roll Tide!
