ok kids.....
I was fortunate enough to get a weekend off and blast up to my deer spot in the upper lilooet river valley, BC
I arrived at 3:30 a.m. , had a snooze till 5:30 then trekked in to my spot.
at 8:05, 2 , 3pt blacktail bucks came down the trails and presented broadside at close range.
nice clean kills, meat loss should be negligeable
so I'm home now and am running them into the butcher in an hour
will get hanging weight and in a week will have meat weight.
I saved the hides for weighing as well.
should be interesting to see the totals.
EDIT: just got back from Butcher Bob's in Forest Grove , BC
deer 1 : field dressed, legs , hide and head on = 162 lbs
skinned, legged and beheaded = 126lbs on the hook
deer 2 : field dress, legs, hide, head on = 148 lbs
skinned, legged and beheaded = 113 lbs on the hook
meat totals when I get it back from butcher Bob.
