Good job getting that rascal, and getting him out of there.  :tup: I well remember shooting a good size mulie that tumbled, and fell, and tumbled, and fell... It turned into quite an ordeal getting him to the trailhead. Ugh. Worth it though, every bit of it.

Bummer he broke off that antler.  Good job on getting him though.  I'm sure your wife is glad you made it out in one piece.

I think my wife would like it if all the antlers got broken off my bucks.  :chuckle:

I figured you'd chime in Shane..  We oughta do a "Meet and Greet" one of these days and get to know some of the other Whatcom County guys outside of Lynden.   Done threadjacking 3nails.  Again, nice high country buck.
This is a great idea, blacktailer. It'd be fun to meet some of the other hardcore hunters.

I figured I might have some blood-shot but it was actually fine. We've got 4 deer now with 2 Idaho tags to fill so I just ground the whole thing into hamburger.

Sounds like it would've been nice and tender after a fall like that. :yike:  Great story and thanks for sharing. :tup:
