Yes you are exactly right on artery deal. Not happy about that shot but I will take it.
Hopefully I can bag a doe yet. I plan to take my video camera with me from now on so I can video the bucks. That's probably all I will see now that my buck tag is filled. Hopefully the rest of the team has as much luck as I did!
By the way I got my buck submitted to the score board. He taped out at 126.25".
