Oh Dear, it's a Deer!

Richard went deer hunting for his first time this year with my dad in Arbon. The hunt started on a Thursday, but he had too much homework, so Friday (10/11/13) after school he headed out to Arbon. About 15 minutes before dark, they finally spotted a few. He shot at a 2 point and killed it! He was pretty proud that on his first day with his first shot he got his first deer!!  Beginner's Luck maybe?!?! maybe.


Apparently it's a pretty big deer for a 2 pt, and we got about 60 lbs of meat from it. We got a few steaks and turned the rest into jerky. Richard loves jerky, so he is very excited to have 5 (maybe 6, I can't remember and am too lazy to go out to the freezer to look) gallon sized bags full of jerky! He got 4 different flavors: Hunter's Blend, Mesquite, Teriyaki, and Peppered.
