Muzzlebreak did you skin that Rattler.

The guy that it struck at skinned it and he is going to tan the thing. Should make a nice belt or wall dodad. All I did was catch it and kill it since I am the bravest one out there--or dumbest
I'm headed back out to Sterling County this morning after the rain blows thru to hunt this next cold front and maybe get another real LDP, this time with horns.

Oct. 13 2011: It was about my fourth sit in my backyard stand here in Huntsvegas. I had already blown one chance at a great 5x5 I had been getting pics of a few evenings earlier. The bachelor group the 5x5 had been running with began to show up and of course the last one to show was the biggest, only instead of the big 10 it was a big 8, a buck I had never seen before. After wearing me to a frazzle I gave him my customary warning shot across the bow DAB GUMMIT!! dId I just do that? Luckily my Fox longbow is so quiet he only went a short ways to my right and stopped at about 18 yards so I sent a second snuffer tipped arrow at him, this time hitting him right in the paunch. I backed out and came back an hour later and found the arrow and an encouraging liver laden blood trail. After a sleepless night I awoke Miss Money Penny about 4:00 am and we took up the trail about 5:00 am. She tracked the buck like a champ we crawled through the thickest East Texas youpon and briars imaginable for several hours and several hundred yards after finding a spot with heavy blood where he had bedded Penny got after the trail really hard, I couldnt even keep up so I would call her back and then head the direction that she came from, we did this leapfrogging four or five times till finally I peered through the brush and saw the bucks back with my intrepid blood trailing Dauschund ripping fur from his haunches. After field dressing the deer I saw that the big snuffer broadhead had went through one lobe of the liver. Thanks to Penny and the snuffer I got my best Texas deer ever despite my miserable shooting. This was Penny's fith recovery in three years, if not for her there is no way I would have recovered this buck before the buzzards. Everyone have an awesome safe season. Sam[IMG]008[/IMG]
