The seven shot buck

[ragnik]

Figured I would post these knives down here! Thought you folks would appreciate the story. So here goes

It was the typical deer season for us out here in PA. I had made the second week of it still deerless. My last day to hunt was a wednesday afternoon. So my friend and I headed for the woods. Just before we left he said lets walk behind the house(he has 5 acres) I proceeded to tell him he was nuts lets get to the farm we hunt. He insisted so I went along with it, just as we were about to turn back to go to the farm, out jumped a buck. My buddy got off three quick shots all misses. Thanks to some snow we found the fresh tracks and some blood. He was sure he missed but we felt obligated to track the deer. Well it took us a mile into the woods and onto his neighbors land. But finally we got another chance. My buddy got off three more shots and then i got the final one and the only shot i took.

Needless to say we were thrilled and we had gotten the buck together. It was a 6 pointer which isnt bad and we found out it had a previous wound and that is why we saw blood. That made us both happy to have gotten it cause it wouldnt have lived much longer.

I felt this called for something special from the antlers and after some thinking I felt making two knives out of the antlers one for him and one for me would be great. So below are the pictures of the deer and of the two knives i made.

The knives are 1084 steel flat ground and 3 1/2 inches long on the balde.







All commnets appreciated the photos still arent great but I am learning!!!
