Thanks for sharing. Looks like a nice place to take a deer. Congratulations!

For an Old Goat, a 45 min each way hoof, is commendable in it's own right!

To hunker down and peel meat off the deer like that, and pack out 73# packboard... well, tip o' the hat, SIR...

Nicely done all around!

heck, where I'm deer hunting is a thousand feet lower in elevation from where I live, it's a cake walk compared to where we elk hunt at 5 to 6 thousand feet higher than where we live and a longer walk in! Just have to do it a little slower is all:)

Just wanted to add a picture. I know how good scavengers clean up things in the wild, but I was a little surprised at the speed and thouroughness on this one. I shot the deer Saturday, went back yesterday to take down my treestand and so in five days they reduced this deer as far as I've ever seen one reduced. Must be a lot of coyotes out there. I've also never seen coyotes whittle down a skull like this. Looks like a creature on a science fiction movie. They ate the hide and all. The skull is situated to the left, you can see the lower jaws in the forefront and right about in the middle is the upper jaw/pallete.

Must be getting pretty hungry out there and the picking needed to be cleaned
