The meat will be tasty, just not much of it. Kinda reminded me of gutting a squirrel. I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

I've been using it for years on deer and it always preforms well. It will punch mickey mouse ears at 100 yards out of my model 70. I BELIEVE IN MY GOD, MY COUNTRY AND IN MYSELF.

The yearlings will be the target. Big momma does are for breeding.
