    Congrats on the beautiful buck! Sounds like you had your work cut out for you after the crash

    Yes, after I started getting him cut up a big wind storm rolled in. Trees and limbs were falling all over. I quickly gutted him and threw my rain coat on him to discourage the predators and got out of there. That was an eerie ride the 5miles down the mountain.

    Went back the next morning with my son and got him out.

    So you didn't shoot the buck you just pushed a log over down the hill and killed the buck?

    @Gerald. Exactly πŸ˜‚ it takes some real patience and a lot of wasted trees but when it all comes together it's worth it.. πŸ˜‚ I missed your comment somehow πŸ˜‚

Love hunting blacktail bucks, fishing beaver ponds and forgotten lakes, and hiking the west side of the cascade mountains.
