RobRez 1,895 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Well my buddy and i both got 5 point bucks off the ranch 10 minutes into rifle season on Saturday. Here are the results! Each 1 shot kills. Mine dropped where he stood and my friends ran maybe 50 yards. Both shot with a .308 mine with my Saiga 16" and his with my FN bolt action rifle. Lots of fun! Celabratory Whiskey shots were had at 8:30 am. Hung and skinned by 11am. Tough Deer season for me! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zenman223 460 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Tasty as well! cooked up one of the hearts last night. Scrumdiddlyumtious!! how exactly did you cook it? do you age your venison at all? those are some really nice bucks, rarely see them that big around here. also we would call em a 10 point. also never seen one skinned from the neck down like that.

RobRez 1,895 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Cooked the heart in a frying pan. Lightly battered and cooked with butter, onions and garlic. I age the meat for about a week usually. Longer if it is cold enough.I eat the heart and liver fresh. I wait till the meat get more Burgundy in color than Red. Tender that way for sure! These were some pretty big fellas but of course there was a bigger guy who wouldn't present a shot.....not that you can eat antlers. I hang 'em that way, a bit higher up, and gut 'em into a trash can. Stuff falls right out into the bag and I take the mess away......if I leave it in the field here the dogs will roll around in it.

Nice Rob. Grats on the meat to feed on. Sounds yummy. I tend to aim for the youngins and Doe. I like the tender meat. But all is well. Good start to a season none the less.

RobRez 1,895 Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I always fill my tag with the first critter that meets the legal description on my tag. Usually that ends up being a doe, and I am happy with that! just got lucky with a good sized early season buck! had some back straps tonight.... I wish I could type that sound Homer Simpson makes when he thinks of donuts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Nice! When I still lived up there, we used to get quite a few damage hunt tags as well for Muley does. One year a buddy and myself filled 5 Muley tags and 2 Whitetails in one morning. My truck literally looked like a meat wagon! Then all the time was spent butchering instead of chasing Elk.
