Matt got a deer









Matt got 2 deer this year.  A twelve point buck and a doe.  Stay tuned for more pics this spring as the debate as to where to put the mounted buck is on.  Good thing the mount takes six months as it will take us that long to agree where it will go.  I always said no to a mount but this one was a beauty and will be a tribute to my Dad as it was on his property.  Feel free to put in your vote - Matt mentioned above the fireplace and taking down the kids pictures - although at this point he says that wasn't really an option - I was thinking more of not the living room at all ---- stay tuned !
As always it became a family project to process the deer.  Judd and Jen came to help with the doe which was split between them and Nick (Matt's hunting partners this year).  Then Kelsey, Nick and Andi helped with the buck.  Kelsey really wanted to learn how to do it.  She was a trooper for sure and did everything she was asked - even when ticks were crawling on her - wouldn't believe it myself without the pics :-)
