Thanks for the comments guys!

Congrats on the buck!!

Great job on a fine deer .

Hey mr meat, good to hear from you! I hope that Mossy 20 gauge Bantam I sold you is working out well for the Mrs. !

Very well done!

Thanks Jack! Hey, how is that Mossberg three barrel combo working for you? This is sort of an "I sold a Mossberg" moment!

Nice bucky. Congratulations! Its always more rewarding doing the whole job solo.

Thanks, oaknut. The truth is, when I was 2/3 the way up the hill and the steepest section was still facing me, I decided calling for help was the wiser thing to do. I called my brother on my cell, knowing he would drop whatever he was doing to help me out, but there was no answer. Then I thought about calling one of my solid friends, but really didn't want to bother them. So I just leaned into it and got it done. And I'm glad I did do it without help. Reflecting on it with a beer in my hand and the deer hanging in front of me in the garage, I said to my wife what you said in your post. Doing it all alone makes it just a little bit sweeter. If I never do it all alone ever again, at least I did it once.

Nice buck and nice work!

Congrats
