That's a great one P-G! I'll bet your dad's pleased as can be. I love that right side. All busted up but cool as hell. You worked really hard over several years for that buck. Glad to see your efforts paid off.
Dads pretty stoked. He's actually down towards you elk hunting, so my lil bro and I had to take care of it. I've quartered out animals, but we wanted to gut this one to take him back to the house to hang whole. Quite the experience all in all!

Very cool buck. Great job!
Thanks! Means a ton coming from you.
How far was the shot?
22 yards. Pretty broadside. Maybe slightly towards me. Hit a bit high. Got the aorta and both lungs. He piled up quick.

How did you like bringing the deer out on a pole? Only in the movies does that work well. Hauled a wild boar out of a canyon with a friend and learned never, ever, to do that again. Hopefully you didn't have far to go and it wasn't all uphill.I second this statement. Done it twice that way. never again unless It's a very short walk.

We drug it out of the hole it was in, then mounted it in the pole and hauled it out. After getting out of the canyon, it wasn't bad at all. Way faster than dragging.

Nice buck. The shot placement looks perfect.
Thanks! This is like my 5th year hunting and first time closing the deal on a blacktail. All of that built up practice seemed to pay off. My dad missed a deer from the same stand last week. His was standing in the exact same spot mine was, pure buck fever I think.

A buddy and me packed a deer out on a pole for a while then we got tired of it swinging so I packed it out aloneif any of you guys have to do it pole style again if you lay your pole on the chest and lash the whole deer to the pole instead of just the feet it won't swing!! It works great for bear, or I really like to use the old army litters , tie the animal to it after you let it in there and pack it out like a wounded comrade :tup:

Hopefully you didn't have far to go and it wasn't all uphill.We hauled my sons bear out of a swamp on a pole like that, it was terrible. Works good on a nice flat road, but never again in a swamp!
