This was Gavin's 2nd doe for the week. He and Lacey were in the deer stand together when he shot the deer and it ran off. Everyone searched for it for about 2 hours until Delbert finally found it. The deer had been gut shot and, if we hadn't found it when we did, the meat would have been no good.

As an experiment, Lacey and I decided to can the meat from Gavin's deer. Check back for future reports to find out if our experiment is successful.
