You look familiar, are you the young man Killbilly told us about? I think so, sure glad to see you out hunting!
Thanks! Thats probably me. Killbilly and Billythekidrock have done alot on this website to make it possible for me to hunt.

i would like to make another comment on this thread besides my standard smart ass ones. i came back to read your post again and i must say it is an inspiring thing. I'm really glad you were able to be successful this year and I'm sure there is a lot of success in your future. you are a fine example of what dedication and hard work mean. that's the nicest deer Ive seen on this forum :twocents:
Almost brings a tear to my eye. Thanks!! :)

We call those "Vail Special's".
Hunters wait all year for the opening of the Vail tree farm to shoot bucks just like that. I know i have and a two buddys of mine took simular deer to yours this year. A few years ago a buddy had a "European Mount" done with his and it looks good on the wall above the fire place. He calls it his Unicorn

I am both happy and proud for you. I know it has been a hard year for you, your family and friends. But you are still out there doing the things you love. Not sure how many times we ran into you over the summer while fishing, picking shrooms or just taking pics with your dad.
I know that this is just the begining and there are probably a few more surgeries, but there are also more deer, elk, fish and other critters as well.
Again, congrats.

The reality is that Jesse is and always been a hard huntin individual. He has had some excellent mentoring through his dad. Everything he does he does to the fullest from school to hunting or whatever he takes on. He built his own bow one year and took an elk with it the same year. We were there for him, all of us but Jesse and his family did all the work and felt all the pain. We have watched Jesse grow into as fine a man as there is. He set his mind to hunt this year and he has kept at it. I missed his call this evening because I was out of service range but now I know why he was calling. Congratulations Jesse, I'll be up for a steak & mushrooms this weekend.
And don't kid yourself, you did it and you would have done it without us anyway. What we did was all we could because we couldn't feel your pain or help you heal. I am proud of you my friend.

You know, I did some thinking about this today.. The fact that you choose to stick with archery instead of taking "the easy" way of rifle hunting says a lot about your character and perseverance.
And to quote my father when I told him about your deer, "not bad for a guy who nearly died a year ago".
Again, great job.
I can't tell you how many people kept telling me and pushing me to go rifle hunting this year, maybe dozens. The thing is I enjoy archery so much that it wouldn't be quite the same experience for me. One reason I've enjoyed archery is because of the sense of accomplishment you get when you go out in the woods and take down a big game animal with pure human strength. Thats one reason why I built my longbow a couple years ago. I had wanted to take down an elk with the most basic of weapons that I had cut down, shaped and tillered with my own hands. That sense of accomplishment is just barely 2nd compared to my deer yesterday. I have nothing bad to say about rifle hunters, in fact theres been times through the years when I wish I could have had a rifle to take down a big buck or big bull that was to far out of archery range, but to me its worth the extra effort to try and kill one with a stick and string.

From the sound of it, I must be the only person who doesnt care for deer heart. I'm a big fan of jerky so I'm wondering if anyone has tried to make it into jerky and if it was any good. I would assume it would taste awesome but I've never tried it so thats just a guess.
Whoever was frying that heart up, thumbs up that was golden brown. Must have good hot horseradish with heart. Never heard of anyone making jerky out of heart! That would kinda be like making Jerky out of Backstrap in my opinion :o

remember, it's just another muscle ...so don't over cook it. I add sage , garlic, salt and pepper. YUM

My parents were in a car wreck 3 years ago that left my mom a quadriplegic. I was there the first time she was able to wiggle her toes 1 year after the accident. That small simple act meant more to her than anything that I'll ever experience short of the birth of my 2 kids. I can only imagine that taking this deer such a short time after your accident is something that you'll never forget. I'd be honored if you'd allow me to help you remember this event.

Does soaking in milk really do anything? Has anyone ever tried this and know it works, besides just wishful thinking?
I love heart, deer, elk, bear, and have never soaked it in anything but Gastric juices after swallowing. In my opinion it would ruin the taste, at least for me. Everyone to their own.
