RE: new kill
Congratulation to your son!! WOW he will fill the freezer for you. That deer there, I would skin and not let anyone but myself eat. That looks like the perfect eating deer. Those little ones are so tender. Way to go young man.
Many years ago a friend's boy was hunting with me (Dad had to work, kid was off school and wanted to hunt, and I was playing hooky as well) soI told him to do the shooting. Three deer came in one good sized one and two small ones. He asked me which one and I told him to choose. Well needless to say after I gutted it, I grabbed it by the fur on the backbone and carried it out like a large suit case back to the truck. I never ate anything that good in my life as that little doe he shot. We call them a Weber. Because you skin them out, cut them up and stick the whole thing on a weber grill. That one looks a little bigger then that, but those smaller deer are sure good on the dinner table.
