Were you trophy hunting or just not seeing a lot of animals?

This is what I put on mine. It makes everything taste good.

We got a nice layer of snow and I was looking for a freezer doe. With only 3 days left of our ML season I was thinking that I needed to figure out a good recipe for tag soup since I wasn't seeing much other than 3 spike bucks which are protected here in western Vt. I left a stand late morning and was still hunting my way back to the truck. Quiet walking made me take a longer way back and when I came around a bend in the logging road I saw 2 doe eating in a blowdown just ahead. I picked the biggest one and filed my tag. Good thing because I bought some sausage mixes that would have been a constant reminder of my bad season. The only other deer I killed was one that caused $5600 damage to the front of my GMC truck on the way to hunt in early morning during rifle season and there wasn't much left of it since I took it out at 55 mph.

Neither. Pennsylvania has antler restrictions. Seen lots of deer. Haven't seen a legal buck. Saw maybe 5 little bucks. Saw 40+ deer one day and not a legal buck in the bunch.

Finally broke down this morning and shot a doe though about 10am.

I'll keep that spicy ketchup in mind for next time!

Jake, the September 2021 issue of American Hunter has an article titled "10 Ways to Eat Your Tag." Maybe that will help?

You already followed the recipe I would have give, pop a doe.

This is something I'm starting to think about. I bumbled my way to a missed shot this morning. Last day is tomorrow.

A nice fat doe is one of my favorite foods. Had tenderloins, onions and mushrooms for supper. I have yet to find a decent recipe to make antlers palatable...lol
