Well done and fine buck!
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

What a quick kill! Good job, man, especially the drag. I hunt mountains and know the pain. Plastic snow sled is a good idea. I won't drag one into the woods with me, though. Sometimes I carry a deer sleigh'r along. Or hunt close to camp!  ;)    :D  

Killdeer~very nice buck, and from the ground!  :)    :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone. I have a plastic snow sled but left it hanging in the garage.   :banghead:  I probably should have drove home, grabbed the sled and a few friends and drove back. I think it would have been just as fast and a lot less painful.

Great shooting Bill. Learn how to bone them out in the field!! Unless You have to check them in whole at the wildlife area, You could have saved Yourself a lot of time.

Still it's a good looking buck that I'm sure You won't forget taking for a long time. bretto

Hard work for sure.
But a real labor of love.
Congratulations!

That's so cool! I'm really hoping to shoot a good buck soon and you just made me want it even more!
Great job!
