Doe down!

You could do it. Basic tools and equipment required. The biggest issue would be to have a place to actually do it. Between the age of 18 and 23 I worked at a small local butcher shop. During deer season we shutdown beef and pork processing and did only deer. In the 4-5 years I worked there we did hundreds of deer a year. At 19 I could take hide, head, and feet off of 5 deer per hour. After the first year skinning I moved into the processing. Like I said hundreds... After all that I pay someone to do mine :) The trouble is getting someone you trust to do it right if you do not have the space to do it yourself. With youtube and forums like this there is enough knowledge out there to get you through all the tough spots.

I hunted all last week here in Pa. saw one deer but couldn't get a clean shot! Was out Mon. and Wed. didn't see anything. Wednesday around 3:50 pm I decided to leave my blind and sit by the barn. Nothing came out into the meadow. I happened to turn around and saw a doe coming out of the woods and moving towards the pasture in back of me. I slowly and quietly stalked towards the pasture and around towards the rear of a wood shed. When I looked into the pasture I could see a faint sighting of the doe approx. 200 yards away. I decide to stalk towards her for a better shot. The doe disappeared over a knoll so I had to stalk to where I had a shot. Now the sun is starting to go down and the hunt for the day almost at an end. I reached the knoll and stood up. There she was about 75 to 90 yards away so I took the shot. She went down like a sack of potatoes!View attachment 877528
Sorry about the dark picture but I had to get the tractor for some light to gut.

Congratulations on your deer.
