Hookbrow es no más.

Hookbrow es no más. - 12/22/21 04:21 AM

After spending some quality time with my grandson, and realizing we still need some time and practice before he's ready to shoot even a doe, I decided to take this mature buck off the place with my grandson with me this afternoon.

He took the last picture (with a little coaching).

117# dressed.

Afterwards, we had a campfire, made smores after grilling huge pork chops, and even had a moon howling contest as it rose over the barn.

Great times, just him and me.

Yessir. I don't think he went on a walkabout in well over a year.

'Cause I'm a child at heart. Some would say a rather cranky child, but still.

Thanks all!

Nice one sir. Great for the young ones to be there and see what it’s all about. Lots of learning and teaching going on I am sure. Job well done.

Oh, it quit twice...with this buck of course. First, when I was off loading to gut him. I was so mad I went to beating on it with a shovel and whatdayaknow, it went to working. Quit again today when my back was killing me from filling feeders for two days and messing with this deer. Beat on it again. Went to working again. This method is only gonna last so long. I'd upgrade to a decent winch in a heartbeat, but I can't get the mounting bolts to break loose and I don't think I can get a sawzall in anywhere. Quite the dilemma. 'Might have to get a guy to come out with a hot wrench. Another problem from China. realmad

Nice deer, and congrats! Best part about the story, was you sharing the experience and time in the woods with your grandson. If we don’t keep up this tradition, we are going to be in a bad way!!!!

Get a bigger shovel.... bolt grin. Can you take a cordless grinder or grinder to grind the bolts off flush to remove the winch?
