I usually bow hunt- this is the first deer I've killed with a rifle in 23 years. Not because I have anything against rifles- I just suck at hunting with a gun. Turns out even a blind squirrel finds a nut on occasion.
I shot this 4X4 with eyegards Saturday afternoon. I'd got myself in a little steep and deep for a solo hunt, and when the snow started to blow in, I started fearing for my life a little bit. Ended up cutting off the hind quarters and tieing them to my pack and geting out of there. I drove back up Sunday morning with my personal pack mule (my son Jesse) and got the rest out.
