Mulie 2fer

Was sorting through some old pictures and came across this one. Brought back some memories. Dad's been gone for 12 years now. Sure miss him, especially during hunting season
Here's the story and the picture
October 2000 My dad and myself (I was 19 at the time) were walking a ridgeline in an area of the southern interior of BC we affectionately called "deer hill" for it's ability to consistantly produce big mule deer year after year. I had a limited entry draw for a doe so we pretty much knew that we were going to put some meat in the freezer that year. we had been walking for a few hours and were almost ready to haed back down to the truck but dad wanted to check out an old burn around the way that he figgured would be grown back up enough to attract some deer. sure enough we came around the bend and standing in the middle of the clearing about 160 yrds off was one of the biggest mulie does I'd ever seen. Dad looked at me and said if you want her take her. I sholdered my old winchester 30-30 aimed for the top of her sholder and smoked her. the shot was perfectly placed and she dropped on the spot. We started making our way over to where my deer was laying when all of a sudden I see a blur of grey and a massive rack rise from the grass next thing I knew dad let two shot's go from his 30-06 and the big guy piled up not even 20 yrds from my doe. took us all day to pack the two down to the truck but what a day and what a buck.

Great story!!! A cherished memory for you and your father. By the way is that a drop tine on the rack? Or is that just a blur?

[EdmontonKnifeMaker]

Not sure if it'd be counted as a drop point. He was a regular 4x4 but the front tine on that side was bent downward. Dad figgured he bent it while it was still growing. Wish I knew what happened to that rack after he passed....
