Deer hunting season started 1st of September here. I got my first deer on the 2nd hunting day. I had taken couple of days off from the work and luckily it paid of.
Nice fat doe with an easy shot from 130 yards in the early evening hours. One 180gr ttsx through the shoulder blade did the trick. Mauser I bought last Oct works flawlessly and the suppressor made things even better. It's got some good hunting luck too as this was it's 6th kill in under a year.

Your garage is set up for butchering just like my dad's. Only he has a bigger bucket.
Unfold that tarp next time. Less mess on the family car.

Tows ok behind an ATV, a couple of guys on a ropehandle gets it out of the thick woods but the built in runners on the bottom do tend to make it drift, obviously it would work in snow, sturdy enough to have each person grab one end and lift it into the vehicle, hose it out when you are done. There is too much flex in it for really large loads like elk or moose, me and Milehighshooter had an interesting hour or so going downhill with 1/2 an elk
You provide great photos of beautiful country along with eloquent descriptions of the hunt. Thank you for that.
That's the fattest deer I've ever seen. Downed by my favored bullet placement. "High lung, low spine". I've never seen one step out of their own shadow after such a hit.
Looking forward to the rest of your season.

Great doe you scored. We get fat ones like, but not until the weather really starts getting cold (closer to muzzleloader season).

Your posts and pictures are enjoyable.
What you call an easy 130 yard shot is almost impossible to have where I live
In South Florida. Your variety of game makes me jealous. I have hogs, and a possible chance at a small deer, if I stay within 4 hours of home.
Well done and Congratulations on your first of the season
Feel free to join in conversations in the other sub-forums. What may seem mundane to you can be interesting to us foreigners!!
I'd certainly like to know more about regular/normal life in Finland. We don't hear much from your part of the world.
