My first deer

[tbrwlf]

On this past sunday, my last day in camp,with the Barrie Hunt Club, I joined my fellow hunters on a 30 minute uphill walk to one of the hunting positions.

As I was catching my breath a deer ran out just in front of me. We were out of doe tags and I thought I was seeing a doe. I readied myself for the buck I was sure would follow. I then looked closely at the "doe" and realized it had a rack.

I was able to get my Savage 340C 30/30 on target and deliver a good shot. Just a little high as I got the tops of the lungs and the liver. I saw two puffs of fur and knew it was a through and through.

We tracked it only 50 yards before we found a nice 8 point buck on the ground already expired.

I don't have the other pictures yet but this is one of it on the pole. For my first deer I think I did alright.

BTW: We had enough tenderloin to feed 5. Charley prepared a meal that was superb. And on a wood burning stove too!

Congrats!

The Barrie Hunt Club - I see you're in Sudbury. Where is your camp located?

I spend far too much time chasing fish and game in the Alban area.

The club is in the Parry Sound area. My brother in laws family are members and I have had the privilege to hunt there for the past three seasons.

Good for you! Remember that day well. We hunted last week and got one doe between the 4 of us. Actually it was a fawn. The doe was right beside her and didn't budge after the fawn went down...but he missed..*&^%$#@!. Then on Thursday one of our guys shot at a buck. Hit it at 75+ yards with a slug. It left a decent blood trail. But after 6 hours of trailing we had to give up because it was dark. I have a new respect for bucks now. Up and down ridges, through swamps, over beaver dams ..geez did that buck ever walk. I think we trailed it for over 2 KMs, expected to see it piled up every few feet..but no. Even tried the next day to pick up the trail. nada. Good to see yours was pretty clean. Congrats.

I have to wonder where the magic line going east is, where hunters start hanging their deer by the wrong end. Congrats.

 

[tbrwlf]

Needed to drain a little more blood out of the body cavity.

I hung it right, the western method, when I got it home.

Congrats!! You will relive that event over and over.
I shot my first deer in 1959, and if I close my eyes, I can still mentally review the scenario from start to finish.
Enjoy the great eating that will be.
