Young Meat down

[Captaintb]

Went out this morning, for the first time this season, ready to camp out for a couple days with the wind, poor little guy showed himself at 87 yds at 6:55am. I knew I was gonna shoot the first legal buck I saw, having only today and tomorrow to hunt this D16 season.

Called a warden to validate, but wasn’t working yet, tracked down 2 Sheriffs to validate and the one with stripes told me he wouldn’t do it (I explained his duty for a moment but got nowhere) said go to the station, 3rd try got it done at forest service ranger station and they were happy to do it.

He was on the ground at 7 am and in the freezer by noon.
Looking for a doe to fill my A22
and I’ll be set with some good eats for a while.

Good Luck everyone!!!!

Great hunting!!! Any legal buck that fills my freezer and feeds my family will do. 5x4, 3x3, big or small fork... all good to eat. The rack will hang in honor of them and for future story telling. Doe, I've never tasted... does it have any different taste than bucks?

No difference in buck vs doe as long as they are handled properly! Take a steak anytime from either.

My honest opinion. Any thing young will taste better. Goats , sheep, cows.
So do deer. But to me does are even better tasting for my pallet.
It's like what taste better rooster or hen. But you know bucks taste
Great.

Not off of something this size, I’ll bone the meat out of the ribs on elk or a larger deer for the grind pile.

Congrats. I think you “still “ might be able to boil that carcass and make soup

I’m curious about what you are going to do with the trachea. Dog chew?

 

[longbowhunter2]

Lots of soup bones or dog chews
Are you in East county Capt.
I would like to have the feet for dog training. If you still have them.

It’s in the trash, I just had it in the pile cause I took out the neck meat

Excellent work with little time! Congrats.

Very nice. Glad you got it done!

Like others have said...good eating there, especially how fast you got it in the fridge!

 

[Captaintb]

Oh it’s even better than it looks!!!

They were returned to where I shot him, but if I’m able to fill my A22 during second season, you are welcome to them.

I'm not sure you can cook it much better than that. Looks delicious.
