Exactly it Charlie, though not an easy drag by any stretch. Not only did he drop within 50 yards, but the blood trail wasn't anything difficult...at all. The gentleman who came up with me actually asked if I'd used a 12-gauge...and he shoots big mechanical heads...

its hard to put in to words how happy and proud i am of you brother! you deserve this deer more than anyone i know. you have worked hard for him, put your time in, payed your dues and walked the walk! that mountain eats up pretenders and egos. its takes a hard hunting man to make meat up there and to do it during rifle season with a longbow is icing on the cake. the ridge we hunt is absolutly beautiful and during early bow/muzzleloader season myself and a few friends are the ONLY ones who roam the ridges. when rifle opens it gets HEAVY pressure. to take that buck like you did from that ridge is one hellll of a feat bro!!!!!!!! i hope that ridge, day, deer and everything about that hunt stays with you FOREVER!

Great story!! Much congrats on your first, a well deserved prize.  You guys enthusiasm and love of the outdoors can be felt and heard through the computer.  I'm glad we didn't loose you on the drag    ;) . We've all been there with natures on version of a stress test.  A price worth paying every time.  Congrats again Joe

here is a pic of the stand where Chris put it all together! it sits on a shelf between 2 ridges. bear tracks are scar the tree from many a climb. you can see through the bottom yet it is a very healty, LARGE beech tree hence the MEDICIENE STAND.

I thought I was Bigfoot? Or is that only with the ghillie???   :bigsmyl:  

Nah, Killer's going to sit this one out and devote some much needed time to family. Buuuuuut...I better see a picture of a short blood trail and a big ol' deer at the end of it next time I'm on. Good luck, Ken and Charlie. It's your turn now...

And thanks again, guys. Between Tradgang, my family, and getting to FINALLY punch a tag after 7 years of buying them, well, I'm still in awe...

Mr. Vic - That stand was put there for you around 4 seasons ago and never moved.

Fantastic job Chris!  Way to "endeavor to persevere"!  I'm sure some of you old coots will get the reference!

Again, very proud of you Chris!  Keep at it young man, it brings a life of adventure and happiness!

I leave you rapscallions to your own devices for a week or three, and look what ya go and do!   :saywhat:  

Chris, your story kept me glued to this time-suckin' machine for a good hour. I was right with you every crunch of the leaves. You did yourself proud, and I am sure that Ken is needing a bigger hat as well. The giving that has come from the both of you has brought a glow to my sometimes jaded heart, renews my faith in the spirit of Man.

I know that you are walking on air, as are the friends and family who have helped you to receive that magic gift of inclusion that comes from the universe, in the form of a deer.

Believe me now, when I say that you, in your part, have given the rest of us a glimpse of our own beginnings, fresh and new. Most folks want to know that what we do is worthwhile, and no stronger reinforcement of that exists than to see someone catch sight of it, love it, grab it and make it his own.

Thanks, buddy, for the gift of the story well told, for the honorable hunt, for the friendship. Proud to be in your company.

I'm sorry, I believe that the request was for a "verbal dressing down."

Sometimes I can't do anything right.
