Hey Guys,
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to comment on this or not, but I'll tell you what I meant when writing this article.
I shoot does every year. Usually I wait until I have filled my buck tag, but because the lack of sightings, and just general frustration of this late season, when the doe showed up, I just realized at that moment that it would be a great opportunity to fill a doe tag. Please realize, we haven't even been seeing many does at close range, so it's not like we can kill one whenever we want. This particular area really needs some does killed, so that's what was on my mind when she popped out.
I'm a big venison fan. Back in Michigan I fed my family, extended family, and friends with venison every year. Because I live in a small apartment with ZERO freezer space, I usually donated the meat to the HUSH program here in Iowa in the past. Now, a friend has some freezer space for me, so we're filling it to live on for the rest of the year. I cut-out the tenderloins and we already ate them, talk about delicious!
Sorry if I irritated anyone in-regard to the "kill" I discussed. I didn't mean to give the impression that all I care about is "killing stuff". I just wrote it, and didn't think much about it to be honest with you. Believe me, there is not a hunter on earth that loves these animals more than myself, and I would never disrespect any kill purposely. So I appologive if I came off as a "killer" and not a hunter.
If you guys ever see the video, you will see dozens of bucks I've passed up this season because they weren't big / old enough. If I was a killer, I'd be done by now, with 2 additional bucks on-video! Instead, it's looking like we'll have some doe kills. Regardless, I can guarentee you one thing, not a single ounce of meat will go to waste - ever!
Thanks for taking the time to write!
