Nice pathfinder!  Very succesful!  Did I meet you this spring in the blues with Philip, when you were on your way woodcutting?

Yes, we did meet.  Were you the one that built the rifle?
We need to get Philip on this site too...

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Yup.  Wind was crazy.  I really thought I was going to die a couple of times on the way home with that camper... :yike:
It was crazy in the badlands.  Wind blew in a different direction every time we crossed a draw. :bash:
Funny though, I think the deer out there went more off sight than smell though.  We saw lots of deer that were downwind that completely ignored us, as long as we were outside 500 yards.  They acted more like antelope than deer. :dunno:

I always knew that you were a little crazy :P, but this just proves it. You towed that trailer to montana.  That thing scares the poo out of me everytime I have towed that trailer was one of those moments where you are praying that when, not if, it flips it is a good one and I dont have to remember the experience.   ;)  That is a nice buck though.  I would have shot it gladly.  Congrats   :brew:

Tom called me on Thursday, after he spent his first night out there and made DAMN sure I was bringing the camper.  He had been sleeping in the back of his pickup.  It was 9 degrees the morning I rolled in...

Just finished cleaning the skull.  Still have to bleach it.  Not sure if I am going to leave it a euro mount, or taxi the whole head.  The cape is frozen, I have plenty of time to decide...

Tom sent me a few pics today.  He is having trouble getting them through to my email, and he got better photos than I did.  Here are a couple of live shots.
