I’m hoping so but not sure. What we could see looked and smelled alright. @donnieballgame had a giant cooler and we were actually able to squeeze him in there and get him on lots of ice.
Thank you everybody! This has been such a fun trip. I was hoping just to see one and then to shoot one like that was awesome. #sikapalooza
I can't say enough about what a blast this trip has been! Awesome group of hunters, and a few really tough days of hunting! @wood wesley wish you could have stayed.
I'm glad I got to help out @redsquirrel and @Jcar find that beautiful stag! I think the meat will be fine, it wasn't bloated laid in cool water all night(head was out, body half in) we found it at 1100.
I couldn't drag or lift much due the back surgery, currently limited to 25lbs lol. A lot of work to get that beast out, red and jcar went into beast mode!
I'm already thinking about a repeat trip later this fall, lol.
Here are a few pics.

That’s awesome red! Congrats buddy. Congrats to the whole crew. I know it was a great hunt for all involved.
Congrats on such a nice stag on your first trip , can't wait to see the story.
Congratulations Red. I wish you all could have got one, but I'm sure you all had a good time regardless. Wish I could have made it.

Thank you guys! I thought he was something special after I shot. I called my dad and told him I thought I shot a giant. I didn't want to post that here and jinx myself lol. We worked our butts off for that guy. 1.5 miles back and of course 1.5 miles on the drag back out. He weighed more than we expected
