Well I was from the island. I can’t afford to be selective. Doe season opens next week and I will go after #2!

Thanks Harry for getting this thread fired up. I've got a beauty to submit to this freezer filler thread. Last weekend, 23rd through 25th, I was on our annual whitetail hunt from Kamloops to my buddy's cabin in the west Kootenays. I was able to connect on this fella 45 mins before last light. I am very pleased with this young buck. He is all processed and in the deep freeze. I've got 28 lbs of trim to make Polish sausage, as well as taking all the obvious roasts, tenderloins, stew, chops, shanks and jerky etc. I love frying up heart as well. All in all, he will be delicious. He was 88 lbs hanging without hide. I am most proud of making a fantastic shot on this deer. Didn't touch either shoulder. Zero meat damage. He was only running on adrenaline after my well placed shot connected. I only had sprinting hoof prints in the snow to follow as there was only a pin drop of blood every second bound. He only dashed 30 yards in the thick woods but with light fading and heavy snow, a hunter is always concerned about making a recovery in those conditions. I currently have the skull in the peroxide bath as per Dougans thread. It has easily been my best season ever. 2 black bears and now a freezer full of tasty, young whitetail.

Small freezer for me.................just moved back to BC and am enduring the 6 month wait until I can be considered a resident. Was so distressed about no hunting the wife and I forked out for the non-resident licence and upland birds. Ouch! Saw some great bucks and bulls while out looking for a few "chickens". Anticipating next fall..............
