Thread: Closer... closer... CLOSER... (warning - long story!)

Thanks guys - it definitely wouldn't have happened without the awesome advice shared on this forum. Hopefully I remember it in 32 years @stug but I don't like my chances! I'd love to hear your 'first deer' story some time, as well as @308 's.

Get out there @Dan88 & @mhoppy - even if you come home empty-handed, it's a well-spent weekend. Yeah, I'm usually alone but careful to let the wife know my intentions and carry a PLB. I've spent a fair bit of time in the bush over the years tramping & fishing so I'm fairly comfortable there.

I'd like to think it was a combination of good planning and execution @Dorkus, but I think I may have someone upstairs helping me out It should have been nice & clean @berg243 , it was pretty comical looking back on it and hopefully you're right @Mooseman ... I appreciated your advice on another thread re. resting venison in the fridge, but was worried about all the contamination so it went straight in the freezer. Came out okay the other night after a few hours in brine.

Yes, you should have been there @csmiffy - maybe we need to drag @mhoppy along too.

I thought the same thing @Tahr, I bit back many contributions to the 'discussion' before deciding that a positive story was better... even if it was a bit long-winded!
