Good job that is a fine deer, but I have got to say being raised in Montana where the critters are to big to drag,(elk and most deer) we have a great appreciation for a knife and a pack frame!

I take an Army Alice pack and frame with me in my truck every time I go hunting just in case I kill one too far off the road to drag back. I will bring it out in pieces rather than drag.

I take a Cabela's mag hauler with me as well but can't use it everywhere I go because the country is too rough.

I love Snuffer blood trails

Get off the roads as you said then you will have some stories to tell. Sweet!!

Erik, me too. I have a Non Typical collapsing/backpackable game cart and really like that thing for long drags from tough spots.

Dude!!!! I was within 10 miles of you w/ a deer cart in the back of my truck!!!!! You going back for any does?? If you are drop a line and we'll swap #'s. I know how bad that sucks by yourself. Be more than happy to help. Nice buck as well!

That's awesome. Give us a few more details. Where exactly did you hit him at? What pound bow are you using. That is one hell of a blood trail!

vermonster13 · « **Reply #58 on:** October 21, 2008, 09:09:00 PM »

Congrats on a fine buck indeed!

Thanks again guys!

Robert, now you tell me :rolleyes: Do you hunt somewhere in that area? I may go back to try for a doe later in the season. I'll probably hunt my place in Missouri until the gun season. If I go back I'll give you a buzz. Thanks.

Jon, I was using a 53# black widow recurve. Vertically, the arrow entered about mid body. A little higher than what I really wanted. It was roughly 2 inches behind the leg. Easton legacy arrow, 145 gr snuffer with a 25 gr adapter for 170 gr total point weight. Total arrow weight 550 gr. The arrow broke ribs on both sides and penetrated the skin on the far side but did not pass through.
