I finally got him put away. Finished making the sausage last night. I finished the summer sausage in the picture a couple of days ago. This deer is the first with the Encore. A 150 gr Nosler BT in the '06 with 50 gr of RL-15 and he was down.

Out of this little deer I got 18 lbs of summer sausage and about 33 lbs of breakfast sausage. Counting what I had to add like fat I got pretty close to 35 lbs of boneless meat off of him. And that is not counting the backstraps.






There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular -- but one must ask, "Is it right?"
