Looking good! We had fresh back straps at deer camp last Friday on the grill. They were only a few hours old. I very highly recommend the A1 dry rub. Delicious! Everyone loved it.

Jesse,
Congratulations! An absolute monster of a buck. I could only hope to see, let alone shoot a deer like that one.

I dropped it off the day after I shot him and they caped it while I filled out paper work. Got a call 4 days later that it was done and all that cost me $115, which is money well worth it IMO. They let him hang for 3 days and mixed in some pork/beef fat with the ground.
I understand wanting to do your own deer, but I've never really enjoyed it because of not owning equipment or having a good place to do it. Not to mention the hassle of setting up, tearing down and cleaning up. Taking it to the processor is just easier and I like easy!!!

Thankfully for those of you willing to read this novel, I have nothing left but the pictures. I hope you enjoyed reading my story and thanks for going along on my journey…
One final side note: This deer posed in front of one of my cheap Covert trail cameras Saturday night when he reared up on his hind legs to thrash the licking branches over his scrape. He also struck a fantastic pose in front of it Sunday morning with the raising sun illuminating his presence; an image that would have been one of the best trail cam pictures I have ever recorded. Unfortunately, and very painfully for me, the camera never triggered and I am left without what were sure to have been some classic pictures of this buck. When I returned to the stand Sunday evening after discovering this, I brought one of my SpyPoints with me and hung it over the scrape. That camera only snapped one series of pictures, but I was left with an indelible image the shows how I felt post shot and when I first laid eyes on him after the shot. I guess this will have to work…
I noticed this when I first saw it the day you posted your story but forgot all about it till now. Notice in the last pic where you're celebrating in front of your TC the whitish color your camo is. Mike Rex showed me a similar pic on his phone and was going to elaberate more on it but somehow he got sidetracked when the discussion switched over to talking about big bucks. Lol
It's apparent the UV brighteners are for real and I wonder if we tip the deer off more than we know because of this?
I am heading out tonight to pick up the rack for a while and the jaw bones to send in for aging. I ran in to the neighbor that lives behind my parents last week and he may have sheds from this deer. He said to bring the rack over and we'd look at them and if it was from my buck, he'd let me have them in exchange for a case of beer!!!

Damn guess I better get off the short bus as I just found this thread!! Holy shit was this a great story Jesse!! Big time congratulations to you and your soon to be bigger family!!!!
Not only that, but it shows how most modern camo patterns just blend together into one big "blob." I'd be real curious to see how that same picture would turn out if he were wearing a more open pattern like Predator.
UV is on the other end of the color/energy spectrum, this is an infrared camera. It would be interesting to see what the camo looks like in the color range that deer can see in. I can tell you that synthetic fibers can and do shine like crazy in the 450nm range when excited with UV light.
I have access to equipment at work that would give a qualitative assessment of these fabrics. I can tell you that Cabelas and probably the sweat shops that make this stuff don't care much about this. It has to look really good or nobody will buy it. Perhaps some day when I get a chance to myself, I could test some, but I have a feeling I will not like what I see.
I have been getting picked off way more since I switched to the Cabelas MT 505??? outer wear. I have the feeling that I am a huge glowing "Blob" in the tree.
There is a lot to be said for a wool based predator camo IMO.

You are exactly right. The material it is made of makes all the difference. Wool does not wash out like this in front of a camera.
Very interesting SB and Brock! Thanks for the info.
I also apologize to Jesse for kinda side tracking his awesome thread he's got here. His pic looked very similar to the one Mike Rex showed me and I thought it was worth mentioning. I wish I just started a separate thread and mentioned it.
Sorry buddy!
