Looking to take my first deer

[yobuck]

the recipe for cooking a rabbit is #1 get the rabbit.
the head lamp and gloves are a good idea. if a stream is nearby drag it there before gutting.
it makes cleanup easier. the biggest problem is the bone in the pelvis area under which is the
urinary system. a small ax works well on that. some things can be left till later and that can be one of them.
get the hide off asap.

I presume you mean deer?

Just got back from a business trip to FL--to add insult to injury I saw deer everywhere on the way there and back--even in FL--on the sides of the highway--both alive and run-over.
