Too bad you don't have a buddy that rappels.

Something like that happened to me once, except the doe made it all the way to the bottom. Made expected 20 yard drag to the pasture into a 2 hour drag and 4-wheeler ride.

That stinks!

I've got 100 ft of 3/8" line in the trunk. You could always lower a 12 year old on a rope to tie off the deer. No nephews?

Ouch now that ruff hunting, sorry that you was unable to recover your deer but I hope to a easier hunt to claim your next deer. Great shot by the way....

At least you got to see a deer, and get a shot. The only deer I've seen were beside the road. And they ate all the corn I put out and disappeared once season started (but they left me a nice "present" where the food had been!). Thanksgiving I went out to do some hunting and heard shots all around me. I thought the deer had to be headed my way. Nope. Not a single one. The only animals I've seen were crow too far off to shoot, a squirrel when the gun was unloaded, and a woodpecker which is too illegal to kill.

Now we know why you are the SKINNY indian. :rotf:
I feel your pain. The last 3 years were almost enough to make me quit, then this year I got two deer inside of 30 minutes.
