And Then There Was One Less.

For those who have been following the saga, this big boy is no longer with us. John got him this afternoon. It was fun taking part of his excitement this evening. We got the phone call that he had the big eight in his driveway. Leo got to witness some part of the not so fun part of gutting the deer. Leo also took pictures for John with Leo's Nikon. It is something that we have this deer from being in velvet to being down on the ground. We are also getting some venison out of the deal. He was a very heavy body deer. We will get a better idea of weight but it appears that he will field dress near 200 pounds. This makes me laugh thinking of how the teachers in Aberdeen thought that little buck weighed 300 pounds. Of course, my feeding these guys did help with the weight, so I think I get some credit for it. Overall, it was a great night that made a lot of hard work worth it.
