Where the heck is this place? I've been trying to hunt pittsburgh for a while now. Great job I wish I had 2 tags to try a double. Just didn't work out that way.

Congrats!!

Rob...Luckily after I shot the doe in the am the temps never got out of the low 60s. I immediately got 6 bags of ice (2 below, 2 inside, and 2 on top of her) and wrapped her in a tarp. I had plans to go out that night and was feeling optimistic about getting a shot at another doe. I thought she would be fine for an extra 6 hours wrapped with the ice...plus it saved me an hour commute to/from the butcher's a second time.
