Sounds like a definate plan to me! It just so happens. I know a place or two we could stay! HeHe!:dancingbanana:
 
You'll have to do a lot more wood cutting if you are planning on staying in the cabin, and it's as cold as it has been the last few weekends.
Will she hold a fire? or, will the pee parade keep 'er going? :D
I'm in!

that old cabin gets plenty hot so no worries of licking beercicles

bout time on the pic eh:p..just so happens that i just ate a round steak from it just about half hour ago...i slowly bbq,d it on the electric grill.
i used no marinade on it ..it was not bad in the toughness that you were worried of..
so dont worry of trying to over tenderizing it with marrinade..
again congrats on a great deer...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY and happy new year
 
Great story and a great adventure ........sometime Murphys law takes it toll but you come out smelling like a rose..........great memories take care and congratulation
 
I must not visit this forum often enough, just saw this post today. ;)

Nice buck, buddy!

You can tell the doubting Thomases that wind sure as hell does make a big difference on a shot that far, and yes a foot is not at all unlikely in a stout crosswind. Another thing that may have happened is the deer turned towards the sound of the shot and therefore caught the bolt in the neck. I had that happen to me at least once, and IIRC twice. The bolt flies slow enough that the deer can react. I have also seen deer "jump the string" and duck underneath an incoming bolt. Saw this in slow motion on a video, which confirmed what I thought had happened to me. :cool:

Next time you need to cut up a deer, CALL ME. I have cut way over a hundred, probably two hundred. Like BC Bigbore mentioned, it is a good time for socializing, and you get ALL of your meat, and it is YOUR meat not somebody else's. When I have had to take a deer to a butcher I have always got less meat back than if I had done it myself. For example, most butchers will not fillet out the meat between the ribs, but on a big deer that is a goodly amount of sausage meat. ;)

BTW if you are looking to put a camp together for a wee bit of a late season bow hunt, your old buddy Doug is a hell of a camp cook, something of a bow hunter, and a raconteur par excellence. I can also sing hundreds of songs and know all the words to The Ballad of Eskimo Nell. :p As long as the camp fees are not too much, since I am also CHEAP! :D
