Public Land Kill
« on: January 08, 2013, 08:43:00 AM »
Hunting a wma near home all week. I passed on a spike the first evening and saw a hog the next morning but didn't get a shot. I was trying to figure out where them bucks I got on trailcam were coming from so saturday I went deep in the swamp. I found an oak ridge between two pond/sloughs.
There was a trail a foot wide and fresh scrapes down the ridge. I got out of there and waited for an easterly wind. Monday's forcast showed ENE. So I paddled my pirogue over a half mile down a slough, then walked almost another half mile.
   
 Hung my stand 10 yards from that trail and settled in.
     
 The green heads were pouring into the long slough to the east all evening. Around 5pm I looked over my shoulder and saw a couple deer crossing the south end of the pond. They were headed to the ridge. I lost sight of them for a while, then I hear leaves rustling and grab my bow and get ready. Here they come on the trail. A big doe with two yearlings. She gets right in front of me and I pick a spot then draw. Next thing I know the arrow was on its way. A clean pass through behind the shoulder! Gotta Love It! She ran 30 yards and stood there stopping her foot, then fell over       :)

De-boned or just quartered?  I know there's tons of videos on gutless field quartering, but if you're actually deboning in the field I'd like to hear about it. (Nobody will mistake me for a surgeon when deboning quarters after the fact, LOL) I sort of just "whittle" the leg bones out without separating the various cuts. Doesn't matter in my case, because I have it all turned into smoked summer sausage at a local Amish community.  I hunt a few limited-access places where it would be nice to know how to do it in the field.

Way to go!  A public land deer can be pretty hard to come by.

You are right about that Kip, the man has a hatred for deer that just isn't natural!    :biglaugh:

Congratulations!  Nice story and a great shot!  That would be a neat experience paddling back to your hunting area.  It would eliminate about 99% of the competition.     :thumbsup:

A doe on public land is quite the feat!  I hunt some areas too that I can only access by boat and those areas usually have less pressure.

Next year I plan to de-bone the animals in the field to make my packs out much easier.
