About a half hour before dark the buck fawn came out into the field and ten yards from the stand. A couple minutes later four does come into the field but are spooky right off the bat. They were looking at the buck fawn but the spooked and went back into the woods where i couldnt see them. I was pissed figuring they must haved smelled me. Grabbed my back up arrow to put in my quiver and call it a night. Looked back and there is a doe at 20. She was squirrelly too. Finally spun around a second time at 17 yards in a small opening. 110 yards later.......

Last year i bought this cooler thing. The side drops down so getting a deer in is easy with two people. Now i can wait to butcher til thursday or this weekend. Think i paid $200-300 for it.

Great hunt getting the deer, and cooler thing is cool as hell! What would one of those be called (in case a craigslist search was in someone's future)?

Must be restaurant equipment?
I have seen several restaurant equipment auctions online lately.

I now break down animals quickly when it's warm. I've thought about a walk in cooler but that's not in the cards right now. I did not realize something like this was an option.

I didn't want to give up the square footage in my detached garage at home for a walk in. Found this to be a great alternative.
