Went out tonight and harvested a doe. She wasn't as big as I thought she was but she was big enough. Had a tag and all was leagl and legit. I took her to the processor and dressed her out. She weighed 85lbs. dressed out. What do you think she weighed before dressing? This is to settle a friendly argument between a buddy and myself. He says 90-95. I say a 100 or so . He's the one who "always" gets the "bigger" deer. If it was his, "damn, she's a nice one ain't she?" he'd say. Somebody else's, "she's a little one but'll do in a pinch."
It was my first of the year and I was itching. The freezer was getting a little bare and I've been watching her for a few weeks. Here in SC, starting Oct. 15th or so, every weekend is a doe days or you can buy 4 doe tags and shoot 4 on off days. I bought them last year and didn't used a one. Not this year, used my first tonight. Let the freezer fill on up.
