    Dang, that's pretty crazy, I'm glad there's no large bodies of water where I hunt, just a few ponds and branches... lol. Congrats on your doe!

    Congrats on your doe. Amazing that the shot missed one lung.

    Nice find. Congrats on the doe.

    You're right, I can't believe that she didn't crash in sight of your stand.

    Nice doe, Greg. Congrats!

    I thought you had to strip down to your boxes to retreive a deer from water. :confused: Now I'm starting to think Germ is just an exhibitionist.

    Great thing about those is I was over at my neighbor's this past summer and saw them the night before he was going to put them out in their garage sale; I nabbed them for $15.

    Best $15 I ever spent to retrieve a deer! :)

    Thanks... I don't give up easily. I've been known to rent airplanes to look for deer that a friend I invited to hunt with me shot on the ground I hunt. :)
