Only people who have actually hunted in the Adirondak mountains know how difficult it is to take a big buck there. These large bucks are few and far between and cover large areas of heavily forested timberlands.
CONGRATULATIONS on taking a fine trophy in difficult terrain.

Very nice buck. Thanks for sharing the story.
Does the venison flavor suffer since you pack out the entire animal? I was taught to get them processed and cooling as quickly as possible.

I'm blown away by all the comments you guys, thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it, it truly means a lot to me, my favorite part of the LRH is all the rifle talk, so many deer hunting forums are always geared towards only archery now, which is fine, but man I love a fine rifle, that balances well and the smell of powder burn on a cold morning while hunting does something to my brain, it always has, I will always be a rifle crazed nut, those that know…. know what I mean!!! Thanks again!!

Congratulations, what a stud! We don't have deer that size in SC. 200+ lbs here is a special buck. Send some of those our way.

Keeping it cold is not an issue this time of year up here, I think it was 20* the day I shot him, I take most of my deer to a butcher, I'm not super handy with a knife and old bucks like this I tend to get more of it ground up into sausage and stuff like that, everyone has their own theory on how long to hang deer, I typically meat hunt at the beginning of season when it's warm so I always get them in a cooler asap at my butcher, then I chase antlers if possible the rest of season!
