Funny how these things work out. Oren believes the doe was an older one. She was very healthy, plenty of fat, and muscle but she was dry and running solo. The perfect old gal to grace my plate. Speaking of which....tonight with dinner we had a little side of fresh backstrap.

Great story!  Congrats on your choices made throughout.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

Fine eats and great memory for your boy.  Soon enough he'll be taking all the shots but you'll be doing it together!

Great write up! Good eats right there!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Great job h20 and little h20, too bad we did not meetup but we were busy also...
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Wait just one minute there H2O....if this was a trophy hunt with you and your son, then why are you not posting a picture of him (your son) with that fine specimen of a doe you got there??  Let's see the smile on his face.  I cannot wait for the day my daughter and son get to join me on a hunt.

Well....the only pic of the doe is the one on the ranger. Once she was down I was so eager to get back to the house we kind of forgot to start taking pictures. The couple of beers on an empty stomach may have helped. Also, I wasn enjoying be a dad and not a photographer. I've got a few to share. Him sweating and asleep in the blind first.....
