WinModel70: What a grand trophy!
Good for you.
It appears though, that you forgot to remove some of the creatures reproductive organs when you cleaned it!
LOL - just funnin ya - I assume you must have been complying with some law and left the testes on the creature.
Which state did you harvest that fine animal in?
And why in the world would you NOT use a Winchester Model 70 for your Huntin?
Thanks for posting the great before and after pics.

Thanks for the kind words. Funny you mention the twig and berries. LMAO!! I was so excited when I shot the deer, I forgot to cut the berries off. I caught some grief from some of the guys on a local forum I'm on. I didn't hear the end of it for a while. LOL. It did help in the weight of the deer though. I shot the deer in East TN. A deer that size is hard to come by because of the poachers.
Yeah, I would have used one of my M70's, but that day was the Micro's turn to go into the field. All of my rifles are on a rotation and that is the only rifle that is not a M70.
