Well at least you'll have venison in the freezer. My season here in northern Michigan was a poor one. Never fired a shot in rifle season.but the next county to the South of me had a early doe kill in September. I took a doe with my .25 Winchester Short mag. Then another in October with the crossbow. So I guess I can't complain.

Yup
You got that right, Sam. It's a wonder there's anything with 4 feet left up there on Ruger Mountain.

I bet I have you beat, Donnie, one of my does this year weighed just 50 pounds. Tender, right? The other was a 99-pounder, much more yield for the amount of work in skinning and butchering. When I killed the bigger one, she went downhill, naturally. I called my hunting buddy who was supposed to be working nearby, figured I'd get him to come help me drag. He answers and says something like, "Well, Mike, I'm not at work today. Woke up feeling bad, so I stayed home." Dang near killed me getting that old girl up the hill, and that was with a deer cart. I may be getting too old for this stuff.

Donnie, glad to read that you've got some great eating in the freezer! WD

HBV= Hit by vehicle
OA/NC= Old age/natural causes.
Doug, in order to get an accurate number of days, we need to know if Donnie or one of his youngsters are shooting at the deer? The formula I have to solve that over/under says under 2 days if it's Tucker or Elijah, and HBV* or OA/NC* if Donnie is hunting it.What's the over and under on how many days that buck survives?
