Deer getting Denser/Heavier

[Mr. October]

I was fortunate enough to kill a buck here in PA archery on Friday. It took a bit of work to get it out of the woods. I don't recall being so sore and tired after a kill. It must be that deer are a lot denser and heavier than they were just a few short years ago. That's the only explanation I've come up with.

Yes. And with climate change the hills are angling more every year as the oceans grow and cause plate tilt. It’s just harder to get up and down them.

I know what yall mean because I'm seeing the same thing. There's no other explanation because I know I'm not getting any older.

I think I have a different explanation as I too have discovered this.

I still don’t think my back has fully recovered from dragging my buck last week.

It's funny how everyone else seems to be getting older but I'm not. I saw a couple of old classmates recently and thought "Wow! I didn't realize I went to school with a bunch of old guys."

I think we've had an unfavorable gravitational shift. I've noticed almost everything is heavier. I went to get a tactical/match rifle out of the safe and thought sure the sling was hung up on something, but it didn't have the sling on it...

When you start getting old like me its nice to ride over in the Ranger and toss it in the back and drive back to camp, I dang sure dragged a lot of deer out of Wayne National Forest in Southern Ohio.

The last time I went to a class reunion I just looked around and exclaimed “Dang you all have really let yourselves go”…LOL.
