Headed back up on that mnt today with a doe tag in my pocket although I was after tha big un'
About 300 yrds up I spooked 4 does and 3 went to the right and thay stopped about 90 yds out up hill at a 60 degree angle
all I could see of tha big one was her hips
so true to my word that I wasn't gonna pass on this shot agian
I took an off hand aim and shot with my . weatheryby .270 ballistic tip 130 grn bullet
saw tha 2 little ones run and then I heard a deer ball
and knew she was down
got to her and she had tha head up but couldn't move shot thur the hips at tha spine soo i move in and cut her throat and bleed her out .
went on to tha top and looked for my kinfe mr bro gave me 15 yrs ago for I left it where I cleaned tha 6 I got up there could'nt find it anywhere

Congrats on another deer Smokes. Hope you find your knife. If not I'm sure the Queen Bee will take care of it for Christmas.:wave:

good eatin deer. :biggrin1:

I'm sure Schrade still makes a gut hook. Go get you another one.

I've got a Buck Zipper and it's a great knife, but kinda spendy.

Nice deer smokes. Sorry about your knife. I see a tag on her leg, thought tag in the ear was pretty standard?
