Good job Al and BTW like the smile also.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Tom, at that point I was too darn tired to smile like a cheshire cat ;-) - that was all the smile I could muster!

Well then, that smile is OK! Congratulations on a nice deer.

Good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement.

Thanks fellas!  For the record, the large branch in the lower right hand corner is there for asthetic reasons, to cover up the field dressing gash.  He looked a lot more "stout" when we found him, when he still had all his innards still in him.

I helped drag him for a bit, trust me, he was heavier than he looks.  Like I told you before, congrats and he's a great deer.

Here's what this fine buck produced - got to fill up my kitchen floor last night vacuum sealing him up.  He'll provide many meals and lots of jerky in the coming months.  Told ya he had a lot of meat on him!  This isn't counting the 10 2# packages of hamburger, the two roasts, and what I had marinating in the fridge (the sweetmeat and two tenderloins).
