Pack-out photos.

I'm terrible at pics compared to most of you guys but 2022 deer hunt. 3 for 3.

Halfway point looking up:




Now looking down:




If you look closely enough, you can see my 2 buddies below me. 2k ft elevation in less than 2 miles. What made it horrendous though wasn't the terrain, it was the heat. Temps were 85 degrees and you can see how little of shade there is. Definitely worst part of the hunt was the heat.

Blaze orange, great idea. Some people shoot at antlers.

Not the best photo quality, but an unusual look with the sunlight — that my hunting partner took of me carrying my buck out

Please don't take this the wrong way but I'm curious, why is he packing the head out?

For a first deer/elk it still can be cool to do a euro mount even if it's a cow/doe. My first deer was a doe and we did a euro mount on the entire skull including lower jaw and its actually a pretty cool tabletop/nightstand ornament. Good for the memories of my first deer.

@AK Troutbum @GSPHUNTER

No offense taken, @Rocky723 hit the nail on the head. He wanted a euro mount to hang in his room. We also recovered the projectile and I made this




You only kill your 1st animal of each species once. The meat will be gone in a few months, might as well make some lasting mementos.

That’s awesome you were able to recover it. I have my bullet I killed my first doe with and it just sits inside the skull
