Is that the same buddy that packed him out for you? :chuckle: We know what the definition of a buddy is too :chuckle:
It wasn't much of a pack out, take my word for it on that one. In fact I killed my buck on day 3 almost in the exact spot we were parked in on day 1. That pic was day one.

I believe if you post mutiple pics it is the first one you post. I think that's how it was anyway.
That's how it works, rules are in the first post.

fantastic photo, vandeman!
Thank you. We climbed way to the top of this mountain and the view was awesome. Just wish I had a really nice camera to fully capture it all but I still think it turned out well. :tup:
