Archery tag filled
« on: December 05, 2013, 06:44:10 PM »
Shot low and paid the price. Four and a half hours and over two miles to find him. I was really starting to have doubts, but I still had blood. He took me down over a thousand feet in elevation just to gain over five hundred back. Whoever said, "fatally wounded deer, don't travel uphill", should have been with me today!

Without the snow, this buck would have been lost! That is the main reason I don't hunt early season much.

The picture is from home. Forgot the camera this morning. Pretty easy drag. Once he got to the bottom of the canyon, he crossed a road and traveled uphill. Which made for an easy drag back to the road.
