'99 shot w TC Hawken Silver Elite @ 98 yards. 177 and change gross, 166 and a bit net. Dressed 200#. Couldn't get the Blazer very close, had to drag 100 yds, uphill. Made a good run first pull, took a break, peeled some clothes, then pulled half as far. The half that (etc). It was pretty brutal. Gallbladder attack too. Friggin' thought I was gonna die.
Guy at work an award winning taxidermist. Took a while.........because he ended up in a divorce, restraining order. So his apprentice did my mount (did not tell me).
Super pissed off, but kinda over it all these yrs later. Is what it is.
