Well we are off to a slow start. My 12 year old got a doe on his mentor tag. She was 100 pounds field dressed and hanging. Then Saturday was opening day for Antelope. My wife and I went out but didn't find anything I wanted to shoot. I have plenty of time so we decided to fill an antlerless deer tag, which you can do during antelope season here. Well we both filled a tag saturday evening. Due to the weather being warm we hung them overnight and butchered them Sunday. Still haven't filled an archery tag yet . I hope to fill at least 2 antelope tags then help my 10 year old fill his antlerless tag before the Upcoming season gets started in earnest. No pictures cause the camera is messing up. Thats what I love about living here, between bow,rifle,muzzleloading and refuge hunts I get over 4 months of non stop deer hunting.
Congrats Chet. That's a lot of meat. I have a great recipe (my wife's actually) for deer chili if you want it.

(3) There's no need to act stupid, even if you're very good at it. (4) If you eat right and exercise, don't smoke or drink, you're going to die anyway.
congrats to you and your family!! here in new york we can get about 2 mo. to hunt deer and bear.if it lasted any longer that would be of great concern,to my wife.....karl
That's great Chet!! Myself, i haven't killed a thing yet. This morning i played with some Pronghorn; removed the primer, and counted coup on them, but no blood yet. It sure is hot. Hope you keep it going!
