        So very true! I still remember my first deer in 1955 that was
        taken with a shotgun in Western NY.  That buck weighed 145 lbs
        hog dressed. It took me 4 hours to get that sucker out of the
        woods! Shot it at about 5pm just at the end of shooting light.
        I dragged it to a farm house and called my dad from there.  He
        was damn glad to hear from me as he had been so worried that he
        was about to report me missing.
        Several years later, a good friend never came back from a hunt
        down near Olean, NY.  No trace was ever found.  We figure
        someone shot him and buried him.  There were a lot of idiots in
        the woods even in thoes days.
        The hide of that Ft. Huachuca deer is still in use! It is part
        of my "period dress" for ML gettogethers.
        I remember sitting at the education center one day and watching
        two cougars stalking a herd of deer not 200 yards away.
        Some times the old days were good!
