Another good one!!

Got this rascal this AM 7:45 , what a dandy!!

Nice !!

Great buck. Eric

Nice one. I gather you had a little bit of exercise afterwards, lol.

It's all fun until the drag starts.

Very nice buck!

Was he tied up when you shot him, lol??

Great buck!!

Around a half mile drag out, that sled sure makes it easy going.

Really Nice

Was it uphill both ways, lol.

Wowza! Good one.

Chris

Sure was, but getting him loaded was the real challenge, tailgate only drops about two inches after you take the cable off .

Sweet they moving better now in the daytime?

Ouch, my back hurts just thinking about it.

That one looks to be full grown, what did the scales say? I'm going guess pushing close to two if not over.

A trick I learned on an African safari of all places. Works great with a 4 wheel drive truck. Shovel holes behind your rear wheels and then back the truck up. The rear end will drop and the tailgate will act like a ramp.

We used that trick back when dad would load cattle onto the back of the truck.

Nice. I like the wrapping job on him.

more and more of the dog food on pallets has a bottom layer of sliding plastic one side slippery the other is rippled....looks like what you used

Good one. Method used?

Just remembered, don't try that on Florida sand though, especially if all you got is a one legged truck.

Caught him in one of those #3 norhtwoods I see........jk

It was black powder Muzzleloader 45 yrds shot distance travelled after the shot: zero

Nice buck, Nate!

Nice buck, congrats

you did a fine job and I love the traps in the bed of your truck.

Thank you guy, them darn traps need to be in the ground, sure not catch'n anything there.lol

make up a plank , it helps when you can just drag up the incline

nice,

Beautiful buck Nate had 10 pounds of string on him just for safety lol. Muzzleloader time in Missouri?

Nice work, Nate.
Jim

I do not know how the rest of the year was for you but the last day of 2023 will most likely be one day you remember as special I am sure I would have shot that also Just kidding Any buck is a good buck And you got great one

Jalstat,
It's crazy but them deer want to be anywhere but on that darned sled, but if you can keep them on it,it makes the drag a whole lot better, I went a half to 3/4 mile and didn't have to stop till I got back.couldn't imagine the drag without it.

Very nice buck, congratulations.

good buck there,concrats, like Greencountypete says use a helper incline for loading into back of truck. i keep a 4x6 piece of plywood in pickup box in fall just for that. Happy New Year.
