Day 6 - the Deer

After dinner and much regaling of the hunt.  It was time for the gutting.  Many bets were taken on how long Doug would last.  Even Doug thought he'd last about 5 minutes before losing his supper.  Fortunately or unfortunately for everyone (depending upon your reference), no cookies were lost.

Joel took the picture of the night (at least he can shoot a camera...well he can shoot a bow too, he did get great penetration through siding)
Dressed weight of buck was 115 lbs.

Weapon:  a used PSE Nova which included 5 aluminum arrows and a Plano case ($150).  The rest was updated to a whisker biscuit ($45) plus carbon arrows ($10/ea) cut to fit to the draw length were purchased.  Rage broadheads ($35) were bought a few weeks prior to opening day.  Word is, Doug will be glad to sell this fine specimen of a bow...signed by the buck slayer himself...cost:  PRICELESS.
