I used a kids snow sled and mule tape behind my bike this year

Haha, that's awesome!

Great job! on a nice buck, similar to the fork horn I took this year. That first is very special. I put one on top of the bars one year about three miles back. So I can relate with that part of your story well. It was a lot harder getting him and the bike up then I imagined. Especially after dressing and dragging first. And yah, I didn't dare upset the kart for anything once it was up also. Congratulations. Wt

Bet you are glad you stuck with it. 

Maybe the 2 hunters heard you and that's why they were standing in road.

Congrats

Can'r remembering how many times I checked "just one" more bit of cover... and on and on it went until I had my birds six hours later.  Can't remember a lot of birds I have shot, there have been thousands and thousands, but I remember all of these.

Congrats.  Way to stick with it!  It took me five year to bag my first after screwing up in years three and four.  So far, I'm striking out this year.  I'm kind of like a regressive buck.

Love the bike pic.  If you put a golf club in your hand,  I'd swear you were Sergio Garcia!   :chuckle:

Nice buck, congratulations! 

Next time posting photos, be sure to resize so the maximum side is 800 pixels, it will post more easily and take up less server memory.
