Good for you, enjoy. Good job finding him.

It was warm out Sat & Sun.  Was the meat still good ?   Although, he may have been alive through the night, and probably just expired when you found him.

[AaronBlaine]

butcher seemed to think so! I surrreee hope he was right lol

[HUNTINGS IN MY DNA]

yes unfortunately stuff like this happens its the worst a hunter want to go through but usually when you gut shot a deer you should never go to find it right away it definitely take longer for a deer to expire with a gut shot and if you don't wait long enough that deer will just keep running when it hears you coming. if its going to rain in the morning that sticks because you have no choice to look but my advice grab a couple of guys with lights and go searching but like i said if you didn't wait long enough to go and track the odds are you might never find that doe good luck and be safe

good job on finding it !!!!!!!!!

thanks again guys

Good job, good read. Props for not giving up and going back out to find him. In my 7th year of hunting and still every time a deer comes out for me I know that exact feeling you have of the heart pounding through your ears. The feeling has slowly decreased in time for me though. First couple years it would stay like that up to 30 seconds, now it's more like a 1-2 second spurt and then I settle in.

I like to marinate it in Italian dressing.  Let it stand overnight then barbecue it FAST AND HOT.  Don't overcook it.  Comes out great.

 

Congrats on finding him too....  great job and love the story.

soak it in buttermilk over night. Then in a cast iron skillet fry it in hot bacon fat. Get it as hot as possible and sere both sides then reduce heat covered for another 5 - 7 minutes until it's crispy on the edges. If you have any roast cook them in a crock pot on low for 8 hours with potatoes carrots celery and McCormick  season mix. A steak you can cut up in to cubes and put in a crock pot with Campbells cream of mushroom soup. 1 can per pound of cubes. serve on top of egg noodles Venison strogonoff.

 

Did you get the butcher's cut? The 2 small loins that ley up against the spine on the body cavity side. Those are the best cuts on a deer and the butchers usually keep them. You can pull them out with your fingers after you gut the deer.

[AaronBlaine]

just defrosted some back straps I am going to try that tomorrow night for dinner. Thanks a ton guys I really appreciate it!

[Elmo]

Good job finding your deer and congratulations on your first deer!  Enjoy that venison!

[AaronBlaine]

oh man finally just had the back straps last night with some friends. Grilled em up and had two marinated in teriyaki and the other two were plain salt and pepper. Gotta say the plain ones were better then the marinated ones! UNBELIEVABLE! SO damn good its not even funny. So cool to be able to harvest an animal that tastes that friggin amazing! We all enjoyed the hell out of em and it was a really good time!
