Dang, that’s a purty buck. Where’d you hit him and what damage did it do?

He was quartering away uphill from me and I hit just behind the shoulder. I believe the ball went far enough to hit the spine also.

Hung the buck up from a tree last night at the base of a bluff. Skinned and quartered this morning and packed him up the hill to a logging road. Lots of work for this 70 year old, but satisfying and a little fun.

Success?  A bit of an understatement from my perspective. Excellent job.

Congratulations. It makes me even happier to see you still quartering it and humping it out yourself.
