My brothers first deer and my third

Great shooting and I liked your "recap" as well. Getting two that quickly may spoil you for the future.

I gutted mine entirely on my own and my brother did his with a little help.

Good deal

Who taught you boys how to do that?

My Grandpa taught me how to field dress and my Dad taught me how to do it with them hanging.

Good deal, Code.

Thats a wonderful thing to be able to know how to do. And I'm sure thats why your Dad and Gramps made sure it was a skill they passed down.
Thats something you will carry with you the rest of your life, and you couldnt have learned it from anyone better in the whole world

Actually, he could have, but we don't want grandkids know that!

I shot one yesterday to practice on. Needed Cody and Jon along so they could get some more practice gutting and dragging!

Nah, they were too far away, in the States with their folks and letting their pore ol' grandad do the heavy lifting alone way off in the northern wilds of Canada.

Nice one. I think I see your stand in the background.

Well, yeah. The stand has a heater in it. Confession is good for the soul.

I could see 3 or 4 square miles of clearcut in fair moose country from the spot where the rig is sitting, and by grey dawnlight I was glassing it. After a few minutes I put my binos down and then noticed a mule deer rump 90 yards from me... Hmmm, this was my only day to hunt in all of Oct., freezer nearly empty, no brainer decision to shoot. It was walking quartering away about 110 yds. at the shot.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Code, but not very sorry!

I just about spit all over the monitor when I read that.
