Gosh I killed a huge 9 point buck way back in a hemlock swamp with a .30-30 in 2011 and didn't need a machete or hand warmers. In fact, he never got out of my sight after a hard angling shot that entered the flank forward of the hind quarters, went through guts, liver, lungs and broke the off shoulder. Dragged him out of there by hand too. Had him done in a European mount that hangs in my living room now.
