Nice venison sf. I've been thinking of going back to the old recurve also. I was thinking about getting a takedown so I could carry it in a BOB. My shoulder was bothering me last season so I hung up the compound for a X-bow, as they legalized them for all bowhunting here in MI.

I also figured I would be carrying my War Dog in the wood this year. Nice to know it's a good choice.
Last year I used my new HCLE and WD, (wiener dog) to process both my deer and they worked out very well from field dressing to skinning and boning out.

Wow it was 93 degrees here yesterday, Hard to think about deer hunting when it's that hot. Your season sure starts early. I see the deer still have some of their summer coat.
