Here is a cropped look at the bedded deer in the last pic..

Here's a few more shots.  Here is a picture of Tom's buck, and one that he took of me with mine...

Here's a pic of us hauling out Tom's buck.  Our asses were about half-kicked at this point.  Tom shot the buck in the shadow of the hill that you see behind us, and we were about halfway back to the truck when we took the pic... When I was dragging the deer cart in, I paced it off at a little over 2 miles.

How do you skin a deer when there is nothing to use for a meat pole for 20 miles....
...easy, one side at at time of course...
But how do you get the cape off?  That's a little trickier.  Rigor-mortis helps.
We propped the buck up on his pelvis and his antlers, and I crawled under him like he was a car..

Well, that's about it.  I hope everyone enjoyed reading about the hunt.  It was the best deer hunt I have ever been on, and thanks to all the members that chimed in on threads, sent PMs, gave advice, tips and everything else.  Folks on this site ROCK

...b'dee...b'dee...b'dee........That's all folks!

 Glad it worked out for you over there this year. I was glad I did not end up going over with my uncle, his buddy got sick and he had to run him to the hospital pretty much ending their trip.
