Title: Late season doe down.
Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on December 06, 2008, 06:48:36 PM: Rut appears to be over. I couldn't seem to kill a buck. Had multiple opportunities and couldn't get it done. So I filled the freezer a little more with this doe.

I was not seeing any activity at all this week. So I went out anyway this evening for my normal last 2 hour of daylight hunt and low and behold this doe shows herself at 40 yards. I get so tired of trying to fumble around with the range finder and having the deer run off before I can make the shot happen I said forget it. She was at 40. Took the onside lung, liver and out through the backleg. She went all of 50 yards and died a quick death.

Nice job bro, I know you wanted a good buck but they just are not easy to find and then kill!

The season is over for both of us so now it is time to plan next year!!!!
I love that part of every season!!!!!

Good job!

The only thing not on the table is the tenderloins and they are in the fridge dry aging a little. Will probably cook them tomorrow or tuesday.

Pan sear them whole in olive oil then into the oven on 350 until done medium rare. MMM MMM good. Can't wait. :drool:
