What a terrific story. Thanks for the time you spent sharing your words and pictures. I knew it was going to be a special hunt when I read about the four wolf howls.

Blessings to you and Larry, and to all of our little/not so little anymore family this season.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

That is just about as cool as it gets Travis!  From the story, the shot, the freindships, to the memories made, it just doesn't get better than that!  
And I sure have to agree - Larry is good chicken!!

Nice work on the doe.  That knife will no doubt be a great companion for decades to come!

Awesome all around...

Travis,
Thank you so much for your beautiful story.  It sure brings back memories for me with Chris.  Larry is indeed a very generous caring man.  

That's not the only animal the knife has preformed surgery on.  It was my personal carry for a couple of years.  Glad to see it still works...tippit
