I shot it out of a stand that Kevin & his Dad had set up. On property that Kevin and his Dad put many hours of scouting into. With Kevin's scoped 870 and his ammo.
I could NEVER in my life have hauled that buck out on my own! Kevin and his brother Scott hauled it most of the way. I really appreciated their help - especially through the thick and nasty stuff.
I gutted it with lots of guidance and coaching from Kevin, Scott and their Dad - I'd probably still be out up to my elbows in guts if they hadn't patiently talked me through it. I know it was tempting for them to jump in and just get it done. Kevin helped a few times with that too.
Sure I shot it. I did that on my own - but I wouldn't have been there in the first place without the generosity of those 3 men. And of course my husband who stayed home and got the boys off to school so I could get out today.
