Yeah...I'm there too, Ron. Who knew dragging a buck down a mountain could be hard? 'Bout thought a few times that I was going to expire right next to him...

Anway guys, I know this isn't the Golden Globes, but there are alot of people to thank, and properly. So, I'm going to wait and see if this really is a dream, and tommarrow I intend to give thanks to those who have deserved it for sometime...

But before I go, anyone have a frame?



 

Congratulations Chris you deserve that buck, enjoy it.

An Adirondak deer with a bow is a trophy for sure.Good job & congradulations.

Thats a fine buck there Chris! Nicely done!

freakin awesome man!!!    

gaff

Great story, Congratulations again!

Great buck and awesome story young man! It sounds like you've earned this deer. Enjoy.

Awesome pal.Good story telling.If hes still hanging and you change your mind Ill be glad to butcher him with you.Its very easy and after youve done it once you can do it a milion times.That is a true accomplishment to kill a deer in the north country of NY with something like 2 1/2 deer per square mile, and with a longbow and wooden arrows even.Way to.  

Congrats

Awesome Chris!

I'm am so proud!  I am only saddend that I couldn't share it with you, but that's just my selfishness.  I am delighted that you were able to share it with the rest of us and keeping the campfire lit!

Hope to see you this weekend.

Charlie

Excellent! I knew if I waited until the morning, the story would be told completely.

Im happy for you Chris, and Ken, both of ya did great!

Well done!  

Great Story and a nice Adirondack Buck too. Awesome      

YA done good Chris!

Give Chris a long bow and he can hit his mark at 100 yards.  

Great shooter! I saw it myself!!

Good story and pictures.  Thanks for sharing them.  Glad it went so well.  You are a patient man.

First off, guys...let me say that this still feels like a dream. It's unreal, and to say I'm stoked is a grevious understatement.
Thanks to those who offered to butcher him, and I would have taken you guys up on it, but I wanted him processed as quick as could be. There's a gentleman down the road from where it was taken who'll do it, so I figured that fit the bill.

Alright, I think of all the people who need to be thanked, Adkmountainken is right up there. For two years, this man has taken me under his wing. No, more than that, he opened up his stands and little piece of hunting heaven to me.  
Now, I'm sure he'll say that it's public land, but no. No, the way that man is tied to it, that's his property up there. At least in my opinion. So Ken, my hat is off to you man. This thread wouldn't be up, nor my deer down, if it weren't for you. Thank you, bro.

To all of you here at TradGang; from Terry to the moderators (Dave, you've taken my shooting up a notch), to everyone one else here. Guys, I've been on TradGang since I was fifteen, and it's always been there. So, to everyone; every last one, I thank you. None of this would have happened without the 'Gang. So thank you, TradGang members, and thank you TradGang...

Aside from the Medicine Stand in the fall, it's my favorite place to be...
