Sorry about not including any text in the above thread. I'm just trying this for the first time after reading MGH PA tutorial on how to post a picture. I have never done this before, fortunately in the past my fellow hunting net members handled it for me.
That was a buck I shot in Ontario on a bitterly cold afternoon with loads of snow on the ground last December. He was actually a double drop tine, unfortunately his right side drop was broken off before I shot him. He does howeverhave a knob where that tine broke off from.
I was lucky I found him in one piece the following morning. I could not move him alone the afternoon before as my sled was in the city and the snow was much to deep to walk and drag him behind. He was a heavy deer that weighed 182 pounds when I took him to the butcher. This is without his head and rack, cape, legs and entrails. Was also an old man.
My first drop tine I've shotsince I started hunting in 1968.
Sure took a long, long time! Ha!
