Taking field photos was a real bear.  I took a couple then tried to adjust the deer and he took off, sliding about 100+feet down the hill and ended up inthe creek.  I thought for sure he was going to bust his bones.  The razor sharp rocks cut his hair a bunch of his cape.

And for anyone with any doubts... yeah.. Bone is the real deal...especially on mulies. I met him in 1989 and he already had a Gaggle of nice bucks under his belt.. .every year since then he's taken at least one nice one.... I have tried to hang around him enough to get some of it to rub off... but it hasn't worked!  :'(

I started guttin and cuttin and then stored it all in a batch of whitepines that was nearby.  I even did Michelles seamless cape.  I was cussing you by the time I was done Michelle, sorry if your ears were burning.  While I was cutting and guttin, I saw two more bucks walk about 300 yards across from me.



You're too nice Ernie.  You'll do great this week.  Its time for another Hawk to strike.
Thanks everyone!

After it was all stashed I decided to finish the climb.  I had never been on top and I wanted to check out a spot I knew there was a big buck.  I had known and figured this is where I would find him..........I was slipping along and all of a sudden about 15 feet in front of me all I saw was horn.  My damn camera (the Lumix byt he way that drowned and was able to salvage thanks to folks on here)

(hound....its because I have kids and a wife) :chuckle:
