Title: Fletch's year in review
Post by: Fletch on November 26, 2008, 02:13:05 PM: I finally got some pics organized to post...it was a busy year with alot of deer but nothing terribly big...hope you enjoy!

My brothers opening weekend buck 4X3 not counting eye guards.

I think we went a little early to montana, the rut wasnt quite into swing and the mud was somewhat limiting.

my brothers montana buck

but in the end we tagged three bucks and two does and came home...

I did get a 17 inch 4X3 near mansfield mid week regular season but I dont have pics

And in the end we spent alot of time cutting and grinding the 7 deer.
Here is part of the meat...a 200lbs hamburger patty

Post by: Fletch on November 26, 2008, 02:46:18 PM: we were in montana nov 3rd - 8th...not the quality of bucks we saw two yrs ago that is for sure. I definitely wish we would have hunted the 9-14 or later.
