Congratulations, Osprey! Unfortunately, I didn't get out during this early season. Work got in the way. I did just accept a position with my agency in SW PA, and am probably gonna be settled in in time to hunt the late PA muzzleloader season. Once I know the lay of the land come on up some time!
Great story. Keep trying and don't give up! God must have wanted you to have that deer. ;-)
Two words: "cows knee". A waxed piece of leather to keep over your lock until you're ready to shoot. I made mine from an old car chamois (old enough to be a leather one).
