Sorry about all the trash in the truck. Some jerk dumped all kinds of crap in a pile on the side of the road in National Forest.

Congrats on your beautiful buck and awesome recovery. I'm glad you waited a while to do the recovery it is so easy to be anxious and go and jump the deer to be never seen again. A friend of mine lost an nice buck in Ohio because he wouldn't listen to us when we told him let the deer alone he ended up jumping it 3 times when he knew he had gut shot it. I'm glad you were blessed with such a fine buck. Merry Christmas

Sorry, but with all the holiday stuff going on I skinned him out last night after dinner. Cubed up all but the tenderloin and backstraps today before going to the in-law's for dinner tonight. I should be canning now but I am beat. The arrow went in about midway from the front of his hind leg and exited the other side busting the 4th and 5th rib from the rear. It was a mess inside him but I washed it out good with a hose before butchering him. Not a shot I would like to repeat but, I guess any shot that results in a recovered deer is a good shot.

Man I was pissed off at that, I wish I would have caught them doing it! Public land is for everyone to use, not abuse. It makes me sick that some POS would use it to dump trash.

Wow,I'm glad you found him, that would have made me sick if I didn't recover that Big Boy.Congratulations
