As my father used to say... I boiled then horns for over two hours to tenderize them and they still are not fit to eat... Nice deer. Congratulation on your buck!!
Did you get a pass through with that bolt? Also what is your "effective" range with that weapon? I hurt my shoulders bad a few years back and can not pull my bow anymore, silently or without a lot of fan fair. I thought I would ask the doctor if I could have a cross bow permit (yes we need doctors permission to use a cross bow, or at least used to.. never know, they change the laws every year) and then get back to bow hunting. I miss fall days hunting.
