That's a tough image to follow teanawayslayer  :chuckle:.

Took today off from the old salt mine to see if I could bring a buck home for dinner this last day (Halloween Buck) of the early season.  Well, I did just that.  Saw three bucks and took the last one I saw, the first two being button bucks, not too far past 9ish AM.  2 1/2 miles back in my area on a gated road is where I really start hunting... that's where I see most of the sign, and, most of the deer.  Shot this guy right around 3 miles back in; he was sniffing around just inside the timber on the edge of a clear cut.  Took the little Browning AB3 .243 for a walk today as it has never seen any hunting action.  It did well and put a well placed 95 grain Nosler BT well, right in the boiler room of the BT buck... see what I did there  ;) (distance was right around 150 yards).  He hunched, ran back into the timber, and made it about 50 yards before expiring.  I took two trips to pack the meat out as I am not quite the beast mode packer I used to be  ;). All in all, a good day in the deer woods..... RJ

Thanks guys. Really wanted to hold out for something bigger (maybe in late season) but he gave me no choice.

Great score Wapiti.  Great job humping that meat out of there too. I wouldn't walk for a week after packing it 12 miles, half of it loaded.  Great end to the season!  Congratulations.
