M akin Meat
Wife reminded me that I did not shoot a deer last year and we were low on venison.
I had passed on several Ohio bucks this season trying for one of the big 10s or the 12 running around on my Ohio farm. Shot this mediocre 8 pt yesterday just before 5 o'clock, no blood in the 6 plus inches of snow, tracked it a while an found 1 drop of blood then another 20 yds ahead, then spotted it down below piled up dead, cant believe there wasn't a heavy blood trail as bullet passed thru taking out both lungs.
Was a real bear of a drag up a damn near vertical hill, and just as hard to get him on the tailgate by myself. Should be a fine eater. Oh, this was muzzle loader season, using an inline 50 cal CVA.
