Time to help myself

[Chef]

So this season has been a interesting one... I got a new 40 acer piece of private land to hunt and also got a childhood friend of mine into hunting. I've spent most of the season scouting and helping him get into spots. Of course being the good friend I am I've always put him into the prime locations..... So far he has taken a doe and a small buck and I am going to be eating tag soup. This weekend it's time toGet it done and focus on me. He will be with me but I'm going to do what I have to do to get it done for me! It's been a great season mentoring a new hunter but now I want meat. Any way wish me luck as the regular season comes to a close.

Good luck,I have done the same with my nephew since gun season and I can tell my season has suffered but overall the pride I had when he connected with his first deer was worth it !!!

I agree... It was a really cool expirence to show someone the ropes... What sign is what it means... Where to sit and why, and then to watch that person harvest two deer off of my instructions was pretty cool... Next deer taken weather it's mine or his he is going to learn to dress it on his own!

Good for you and should tag soup happen ...I hope he is gracious  and offers you some of his deer for your "soup"

Of course he will! And it's not fully tag soup I did take a doe first week of bow but that meat is all but gone! Once I get it I eat it quick.
