Rough year but meats in the freezer
« on: November 25, 2008, 09:27:34 PM »
Well after 2 weeks of hunting Mule deer 1 week during high buck and 1 during modern firearm I ended my season shooting a blacktail on the last day!!! What a rough year!!! Weather sucked, tree huggers were out in force and seemed the deer found a good hiding sopt. Figured put around 60 miles on my boots looking for Mulies and got to come back and shot a nice Blackie!!!!
