I just found some pics from when I went to VA muzzleloader hunting earlier this fall. I had a great time and was able to catch up with an old friend. He owns the land but now lives near me, 8 hours from the farm we hunted, he rents the house and farmland out and keeps the woods for hunting. We had over 16 hours of travel time to get caught up with each other!
We had a great hunt, well everyone but me. Four of us hunted for two days and ended up with 3 bucks. I was the odd man out. I saw lots of deer but no horns at all. Other guys saw a few deer each but all got nice shots and made good on them. 3 for 4 on bucks with no misses. All small 4 point. A nice rack buck was seen in the field the last morning by my friend as I hunted just inside the woods edge and he ate breakfast because he killed his buck already.
Part of the goal for the trip was to retrieve some of my friends shop equipment and move it back north with us. Loading the lathe and table saw was an adventure. Both units were in a reefer unit sitting on a cut out in the hillside beside his polebarn. We had to take the equipment out the side door of the reefer unit and down onto the truck and trailer.

I thought you all might find the loading procedure interesting!
