No pictures yet, but my two pards took bulls about two hours after we set up camp on Thursday night. Didn't start on the first one until damn near 10 pm. We worked on them until about 4 am and had to finish after a little sleep (been up since 3am the previous day). Took until Sunday to get everything the 19 miles out. One was 40" the other was 49.5", any bull zone of course. Lots of meat for our three families! Hope I get to hunt a bit next year, haha!

Just had some tenderloin for dinner and cut up the heart for tomorrow. Makes all the work worth it.

At least you don't have to ask, "How big are these deer anyway?"  You have read McManus, right?

Obviously you don't know "Accounting" The meat is free. The experience ain't. Be sure to emphasize that to the wife.
