Awesome buck! Unfortunately old age and treachery did not win out this time.

I'll be happy when Hunter or Ryan sees a deer before me, or when all I hear is a shot. That is when I know I've done my job well. Sounds like you are well on the way.

Awesome deer!

My longest drag was 3/4 of a mile up in AK for Hunter's deer. Try buying a cheap $25 garage sale mountain bike. Makes the drag much easier.
