Couesdeerhtr takes a nice velvet buck in August 2013

My 2013 Archery Deer hunt started a little late this year and was not able to make it out tell saturday evening due to work and no pto to take for the season opener. Got to my area around 11am and set up camp and i was off to the blind. The even was a good one with a good number of does and a couple 2x2s and spikes made it thru that evening but nothing i was looking for that i had seen on trail cam pics. The next morning came in a hurry and i was at it again. Throughout the morning i had seen a few deer but again nothing i was waiting for had come in. weather started to change and i new the deer would start moving and sure enough around 4pm this guy showed up and i took a 48yard shot and i hit the mark. just after i shot my deer it started raining cats and dogs and thats when the real fun began. packed up the deer on quad and started out down the mountains. raining so hard and the ground was so wet i was sliding all over. got stuck for over thirty minutes in a washout and then rolled my polaris rzr on its side down a hill because i slid of the side. i was fortunate the deer didnt get damaged and i didnt get hurt. made it back to camp and skinned and quartered deer and packed up camp to head out all while it was raining. started to drive out and got to a hill and my quad was just not going to make it up with the trailer weight and everything i had on it. so we had to set up camp and wait it out tell today. all in all had the time of my life and i made it out alive lol. will never forget the feeling i had when i saw this buck skylined  and heading my way
