Congratulations,
Yep finding the animal and pulling the trigger is the easy part :) .
Well, I didn't shoot it with a Savage rifle, but maybe next year! I shot this up north with my 50Beowulf AR15. Two days to get it out as it was 3 miles in and I didn't track it down until 3pm when I got the quartering away shot at it to slay it finally. Awesome time and it is at the taxidermist and lot's of meat in the freezer!

A good wife and a steady job has ruined many a great hunter.
Had to borrow a Jet Sled from the camp owner and drag it in the next morning. Covered him up with brush and put my sweaty neckwarmer on a tree. We'll just say I did not sleep well that night...
I bet not that must have straight sucked but the suck makes the reward so much greater. Congrats on a heck of an adventure.

That 50 Beo has interesting recoil but looks like the right cartridge and rifle for the job!
The whole adventure was worth it. For sure. I am going to make one of those photo books for my dadinlaw actually for Christmas with pictures from our week up north. He taught me everything I know about hunting really and I was very glad he was there to share that kill. He actually got an even bigger buck in just about the identical spot back in 1997! 247# You would think we would have learned and had a Jet Sled with us after that first time dragging. Lol!
Was that a Maine deer? If so what part. I spent 9 years at Loring.

Jackman area. I live in Southern Maine, but we hunt up in the Jackman area. Have been for close to 20yrs. I learned to hunt in the Adirondacks with my dadinlaw and Jackman is similar. Love the big woods, open hardwoods, ridges and mountains!
