Congrats on a great buck.

Congrats! How bad was the pack out?

Nothing like butchering a big old stinker. Way to go.

The packout was pretty rough. Several miles of steep country, knee deep snow, deadfall and the dark made things interesting. My buddy shot a buck earlier so we both had a boned out deer in our packs.

It sounds like boning is the way to go (that's what she said). I had to make two trips to get mine out. I finally learned how to completely cape an animal out, which should save me some weight in the future. Congrats again.

The cape adds a bunch of weight for sure. This year no cape and I cut the horns off. Made the wife pretty happy that I wasnt getting another european mount this year. I figure the moose skull and hide will take up pretty much the whole taxidermy budget.

Yes, but isn't that kind of misery sweet?

"Shot this guy in a nasty hole last friday." So you made a texas heart shot on him then?

 

[Moosie]

I think AZ402 has shot things in Nasty holes before as well..........

Nice buck !! You are looking at the camera like "Crap I have to hike this critter out a long ways !!"

 

[Baerman]

Great buck. Tough packs seem to make those bucks even more rewarding. Congrats.

Awesome buck - Congrats !!

I see dozens of down trees in the photos, suspect you probably hate deciding whether to go over or under. That's a fine deer. Deer like that are why we find ourselves back in that damn hole year after year!.
