Buck Shot

**WARNING...SOME PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC**

Last night Mike got TWO deer! He got a buck and a doe! He and Chris took the two Mike got and the one that Chris got back to Chris & Teri's house to skin and hang. Tuesday night they're going to process all the deer...and stock our freezers with meat!!! Yay! Brody and I just had to go over and see Daddy's deer. I was a little surprised to see a gash across Mike's head! Chris tried to tell me that Mike was in hand to hoof combat with the deer...but I knew better. I guess Mike was in an awkward position when he shot and when the gun kicked the sight of the gun slammed into his face! Ouch!


Here's a picture of the buck. Mike shot him from 65-70 yards away.

On the left is Mike's doe (he shot this doe from 235 yards!!!), then Chris's antlerless buck (which they thought was a doe when shooting at it), and then Mike's buck.
Here's Mike and Chris trying to hoist Mike's doe so that they could skin and quarter it. Apparently it was REALLY heavy! They ended up having to use a come along to hoist it and tie it off.
The kids were very interested in what their daddies were doing. Hans, Alan, Brody, Collin, and Erin look on as the doe is skinned.
Brody didn't watch for too long. Instead he found a "mower" outside to play on. Did I mention the temps were in the 20's? It was "brrrr" (as Brody would say)! I let him play for a little while and then we headed home to get ready for bed.
