    Nicely done! Looks to be a nice head on his shoulders, and a bunch of burger too.

    The white stuff is made for tracking, unfortunately we have it on the ground 6-7 months a year
    I do prefer hunting in the snow with winter white camo
    Only -9 so not a bad day to sit in on the ground hunting

    Very nice buck and rifle. The weather here has been unseasonably warm with occasional cold snaps, but the rut really isn't going like it should be. I've already filled my buck tag for the years, but I'd love to just see a buck like that one.

    Well done. I, too, shoot the Cowboy in 4570 with cast boolits and deer hunt with it, as well. They are fun rifles to have in hand. Are your sights original? They were too course for my eyes, at least the rear sight, so I changed it out for a Skinner Alaskan. Minus 9 is cold, but I agree, hunting in snow is my preferred way to hunt.
