NYBowhunter, thanks for the story. We all can learn and grow a little from that kind of lesson. I' m glad you decided to put it to words even if it was tough. Tough as well as funny stories are both good here. Thanks again. Please keep the first deer stories comming. I still feel goofy when I think about how paranoid I was that somone might get my deer. I was sweating like a stuck pig from dragging it. No sled or help of anykind and no time to take it slow, just haulin' butt trying to get it to my yard.
