Official PAFOA Harvest Thread (WARNING may be considered graphic by some)

[27hand]

This is the harvest thread, not the trophy only thread.
That's a fine doe you harvested, and will feed you well. Nothing wrong with that.
Honestly I find the a doe tastes better than an old rutting buck, and prefer to eat them any day of the week.






My two biggest bucks (including this year) were taken from public land.

True that.
And to keep up with the harvest theme, I got this guy about 745 this morning 30 yds behind my house.
I went with a crossbow due to it being in a residential neighborhood.
I think the garbage collectors spooked him.
He came running, stopped 15 yds under my stand and ran about 100 yds. At first, I thought it wasn't a good enough hit due to the way he ran and for how far. Turns out I hit one lung and I think the head is stuck in the inside shoulder bone. The far leg is broke.

Zip line to the butcher. See all that scouting paid off. LOL

Ha. Yes the scouting. Not to be misconstrued as hunting without seeing anything.

I put a trail cam overlooking the gut pile to see if the local yotes would come around.
I got a couple bucks, a few doe ( probly like a Wake),
2 foxes and raccoons.
No yotes and the gut pile is rapidly diminishing.
The processor didn't find my broad head in the deer.
I took a metal detector and used it along the 100 yds or so the buck ran. Nothing.
I focussed on the area near where I found the bolt and moved forward.
No luck.

Got both deer back from the processor. Righr now, I'm having jerky I made today with a beer.
Life is good.

I had a good last day of rifle season this year. Filled my last two DMAPs, so now it's time to break out the smoker
