rygo72 Report post Posted November 3, 2006 It was 11:00 on Sunday morning before I got out of camp. It was overcast and looked like it might rain. I headed to a canyon near a tank I had glassed on Friday. When I got to the tank I hiked about a mile north to the canyon and set up on a flat rock on the edge of a cliff overlooking the canyon. Not long after I settled in behind the binoculars I heard falling rock from across the canyon. I focused on where the noise came from and saw 3 doe and a spike feeding. The range to the spike was about 245 yards and I decided to not pass up something today I would shoot on closing day so I took the shot. The spike went down right away. It took a while to get down into the STEEP canyon. Once I located the spike I hung him up a tree and skinned and quartered him. I wadded it all up in my pack and strapped the head to the outside. Getting out took about 2 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
