7mm Allen Mag - whitetail deer

[vintec]

Just adding another pic to the APS photobook.
I took this buck the last week of our WV rifle seaon. Took him @789 yards. It seemed like it took two weeks to get him out. .... am I still dragging? I think I will find differnt place to hunt. Or make friends with some that owns a helicopter

Well, then, maybe you'd be kind enough to show one of us where that awful hunting spot is? gun)

A place where you can shoot a whitetail like that at 789yds....I wouldnt give it up. I here ya on the chopper idea tho,I hunt the breaks of the Snake River in Oregon where EVERY pack is a big chore.But since my pockets arent as deep as the canyons I hunt Ill have to do it the old fashioned way. Congrats! Nice buck.

Vintec, besides, you're healthy and young enough to be doing this many times a year for a long time.

Now, an old guy like me would be looking for healthy and strong people like you to help fetch them out!

Awsome shot and great buck!

I'd help you drag out a lot of bucks if you showed me a spot where i can shoot deer like that at 700yards!

Congratulations, very nice buck!!! What do you estimate his weight to be?

 

[vintec]

Len,
Not quite ready to abondon the loction yet. I d be happy to bring you along. Cant promiss a good buck.

Eaglet,
I may be looking you up to help me drag one out in NV. I have buddy that moved to Elko a few years ago wants me to come out there after mulies. Do you know anyone with a helicopter??? LOL

If you would have asked me when we got him back to the truck I would have said 2-3 tons maybe more. LOL
I didnt wiegh him but I belive he dressed 150-165lbs. It was one of the biggest I have killed in few years. Deer of this size are very rare in WV. I did get lucky a few years ago and take 168" buck with a bow that dressed 203lbs. It wasnt as bad of a drag. I could get a winch line to him.

Although a few years ago, at 203 pounds dressed I'll bet your still eating on that one. That is truly respectable in your neck of the woods or anywhere in the NE. and with a bow. Neat.
