On Saturday, I was hunting in Frederick in a rifle-allowed area where a six-point buck walked out into meadow right at sunrise and 15 minutes after I was settled into the stand. The deer fell right where it stood after a clean shot with a Remington 700 and was checked in before noon. I will not be hurting for rockfish fillets or deer bologna anytime soon.

Quick question: why did you hang it by the front legs? I've read several sites where most people recommend hanging them from the hind legs. Something about draining to the head is better for how the meat will taste.
