Merry Christmas everyone !

Yesterday was a bit more hectic than I planned, starting out at first light with recovering a 5 pointer I shot Christmas Eve but couldn't find right away. As it turns out, he only went 290' into a heavy swamp and was piled up only about 100' further than where my wife and I stopped looking in the dark Friday night. It was cold Friday night, so I wasn't too concerned but my son warned me that coyotes would find it before I did. And they did. I lost maybe 2-3 lbs of meat off the hind quarters. After skinning and separating all of the various meat cuts from the hams, I just had to fillet off anything with tooth marks. :D
All other meat was in perfect condition and he is resting quietly in the fridge awaiting final wrapping and labeling. :)

After that it was family functions all day until I started falling asleep around 8.
