Being unable to get out and hunt myself due to a child attached to my hip, I was at the mercy of my brother to stock my freezer. He shot a four pointer yesterday morning. I call the deer "Popeye" since it was missing its left eye. The temp was cool yesterday but I was nervous about the sun warming the barn too much and bought three bags of ice to put inside the deer while it hung. That was quite an experience. He's supposed to take it to the local butcher today. I was starting to get nervous about an empty freezer but now I can have chili and stew for at least a few weeks! Now he just needs to use his other tag and fill the freezer. Works out well for me that his wife refuses to eat or cook deer.
