Re: Not a bad evening
Thanks all, it was near 70°F when I shot it. Had my son and wife not helped part it out, I don't know if I would have gotten it cooled down in time.
It's the largest rack I've shot here. I've shot older and larger bucks, but none with a rack as wide or in as good a shape as this.

Re: Not a bad evening
Nice looking buck, what is the inside spread? Congrats, what kind of rifle?
Our season started today, I went this afternoon and saw one nice buck trailing a doe with a little one,
They were too far for this old man to try and open sight shot that far and the low light.

It's a 50 cal cva model with a bergara barrel. I'm not a big fan of it. Getting repeatable accuracy is, well, hit or miss.
As for the spread, i've not measured it and wouldnt know where to start. I almost always target does and button bucks.

Re: Not a bad evening
Great deer. Great you managed taking it using the smoke pole. Definitely a good evening!
Re: Not a bad evening
Very nice buck, congratulations!
And good for you that you do your own processing. I have never done that part myself.

Mice to elephants the good lord made them the same. If you've done one, you've done them all. Give it a go. It is time consuming, but not difficult.

Re: Not a bad evening
Congrats on a great buck particularly with a muzzleloader. Nice set up you have for cooling out the meat.
Re: Not a bad evening
Got the euro mount back. Sorry for no photos. I'm looking for another photo hosting site. I've 25 years of images to get up.
I ended up taking several with my Marlin 375 using swaged 375 bullets and 38-55 short brass.
I ended up taking several with my 6mm arc and swaged 100-grain bullets.
It was a great year.
My nephew's father took up hunting and helped me out tremendously this year.
There are still too many grass rats roaming the area.
Plus, we discovered that I have a fox infestation and need to do some serious predator calling.
