Springfield, Oregon
Out hunting yesterday with my brother and a good friend from work. My friend pulled the trigger but we all did a ton of work to get him out of that hole. Unless you've hunted in the Pacific Northwest, your probably not too familiar with our hunting grounds. Super thick brush, reep rod, and very steep terrain. From where the buck fell dead from a heart shot, it was about 300 yards back uphill to the road. 4 1/2 hours it took us to drag/carry this 230lb plus beast of a deer(for this part of the country) back to the truck. Once we hit the base of the almost vertical hill we used rope tied to the hitch ball and had to pull him out. Very sore today but well worth it. Three other hunters stopped by to lend a hand. If it wasn't for them we would have had to quarter up the buck for sure. The pictures don't do any justice of how steep it is, but here are s few pics. Enjoy.
