    Got me a last minute doe

    Been working out at Invermere so I though I would lose the last few days of doe season.But I got an unexpected day off ,went out and saw a BIG doe with what I thought was a fawn. Going to pass on her(I watched Bambi) but the "fawn" was a 2 point buck. She was a third bigger than him. Bang flop. 245 paces. And FAT, my god she was full inside and 2+ inches outside after skinning.
    Ain`t as young and tough as I used to be, thought somebody would find us laying side by side dead half way up the hill during the drag. Sure love my old Brno 30.06,never lets me down.

    Congratulations. If I was over your way I would have skinned it for you, just for the sheer enjoyment of the way those fat whitetail skin.
    I'll be home before winter. It's too cold to sleep out.

    Little tip with the food saver.....make like a snowball with the burger then put it in the bag and seal it, then you can flatten it and you end up with a book sized flat pound of burger that stacks very nicely in the freezer. I just started doing that this year and it saves a ridiculous amount of space.

    Also, don't need to thaw it that way, so thin you just throw in the pan frozen and it cooks just as fast as thawed.
