Kind of hard to beat the taste of venison backstrap that has never seen the inside of the freezer.......Son got his first buck this morning. At the rate he's going so far today, the grin may come off his face by the time he graduates from high school LOL.

He graduates in 2014 . He's killed deer but he's always suffered from "buck fever" and missed every buck he's ever shot at LOL. Yesterday he got to see they really are mortal and if you can control your shakes they are just as easy to kill as any other animal.

Awesome!

My daughter killed a doe Friday morning. I couldn't get her to try for a buck. She killed a little spike last year and she said "Dad, all I want to kill is just a doe this year". "Last year I killed a buck, so this year I only want to kill a doe".

So, a doe we went after. We got out to the woods near where I was gonna set up and we seen a coyote walking by. We got down by a tree and watched it walk within about 25 yards from us. After it dissappeared through the woods I told my daughter "Lets see if I can call that coyote back?" I started calling on a fawn bleat call and within a few minutes her come two yearling does running to us. Curios of who was calling around! My daughter picked one out and "bang", she put meat on the table!

Total time in the woods, about 30 minutes which included gutting and dragging the small deer out. Couldn't have done it easier! I hope I have that kind of luck next weekend when black powder season opens up.
