Thank you so much for your complements!
I'm back to the reality of 4 kids, a broken down washing machine
and a wife requiring some attention. BTW, we just ate the back strap, most incredible, could not even tell it was venison. This is the second mountain buck that tasted better than any deer I've ever had. Must be something in that mountain water up there.
As far as the deer's leg, one of our shots must have put a hole in it.
I'll bet that on the hoof that buck weighed every bit of 300 lbs.
