My Deer

 

In this blog entry I will finish hunting entries for a while. Last week, after the Cougs football game at Granite,(which we won , of course) I went with my dad to go hunting. If you haven't all ready read my first hunting entry, then we go to Twisp, WA. When we got there it was late,so we quickly unpacked and went straight to bed. The next morning we got up early. My dad, grandpa, uncle, and two of my great uncles were there and up. We had something quick to eat then set off. When we got to our spot, we got out of are truck then had a quick walk on an old logging road before we cut off into the woods. When we got there we loaded are guns. I was caring a 308. and my dad was caring a 30-06. Then we hiked up a hill to the spot were we could sit down and glass(for people who don't know what glassing is, it's were you look through your binoculars)the hill side above us.We didn't get a deer that trip, but on the evening hunt it was another story. That evening we hiked up another road and to a hill over looking a rocky hill side. When we got to are glassing area, we had barely been sitting for more than 5 minutes when my dad said he had heard a rock roll, then all of the sudden, a big 4 by 4 walked out of the tree line. I got ready to shoot, then let him have it. It took three shots, but finally I got him down. We then hiked over and gutted him,(see last week) and dragged him out. In the end it was an awesome trip.      

How to Gut a Deer

In this blog entry I will write about how to gut a deer.
After you have shot and killed the deer, you will have to hike up, or down, to the deer. When you get there you will want to cut off it's stink gland, which are located on the inside of the back leg. After you have done that, cut it up the middle of it's body, from it's anus to it's sternum. Then you take out all the organs in the lower body. After you have done that, you will have to cut out the stretch of skin holding the upper organs in. When you have cut the skin out, then then grab the heart and cut it out, (if you want to keep it to eat, then put it in a plastic sack. You can do the same with the liver.) Wants you have taken the organs out, then take a saw and saw through the sternum to the neck, (this will allow the deer to cool down faster. You will want to do this so flies wont get to the meat.) You are now done. But you still have to drag it down to the truck.
