Doe decided to jump through a plate glass window in town today.
Terrorizing the employees running about inside.
Police tried to contact ministry to tranquilize. Call was eventually returned, 45 minutes later.
Police shot doe. I picked it up at the station.

Skinning is a breeze when you do it BEFORE gutting.

I'll be doing all my roadkills that way from now on.

For some reason I had the mental image of JYC bringing Western justice to a Bandito whitetail in a small Eastern town with a Pre-64 Winchester in 30-30 on main street.

I wish I "came across" as much venison as you do JYC...
 
Got the skinny on the story.
Officer entered the office building, "and the thing was standing there looking at me"
No answer at that point from the MNR, officer elects to shoot deer, trying to find an angle where the 9mm will not exit, and get an intant kill.
tried for spine shot, with heart/lung as secondary target.
Missed spine, missed heart, got lungs.
Deer jumped through second plate glass window. Officer outside finished off deer, dying on the ground, with head shot.

Deer cleaned up really nicely. Looking forward to this one.
 
Just a question... why did you skin it before gutting it?:confused:
I have had to peel and bone the meat out without taking the guts out in the summer, then dispose of the carcass whole. No gutpiles allowed in some locations.;)
But I was putting the meat straight in the freezer not hanging it in a locker. Just curious J/C.
 
Just something I thought I'd try Bigredd.
I found that with no sticky blood on my hands, I got less hair stuck on the carcass, and what was there, wiped off easier.
Also, the hide came off very cleanly. If you wanted to keep the hide for anything, this would be the way to go.

I hang the deer in my garage, using a boat winch rigged through a trap door in the floor above, and an old bale hook for a meat hook. I hang it over an old wash tub, lined with a double layer of garbage bags. lower legs, head and hide in one set of bags, then change bags, put in another double layer, and drop in the guts.
Tried putting it all in one set of bags once, but the result was mega heavy, and I was afraid the bags would split.
It's reasonably clean, I just hose off the floor afterwards.
