Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 11, 2010 Matt, Nice stalk to get the buck. Bet there was a little apprehension about what would happen and if it would be good when you finally stood up. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matthewp45 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks again guys. Yeah, I was real nervous when I stood up. I had no idea how it was going to go down but that was really the best place to be and I had no idea how long it would be before he got up. I guess the luck went my way and he stood up looking the wrong direction. He never saw me or knew what happened. Man it sure was a rush. That part of the hunt makes it way more than worth everything that goes in to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matthewp45 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Oh that was deep Shayne but, at least I could read after graduating Yuma High. Over there at taco tech you guys were held to a much higher standard of being able to write your name in cursive so you could graduate. That Havalon knife is the best knife I have ever used field dressing an animal. When I was cutting the rear quarters off it cut the tendens like it was melted butter. I was amazed. I switched to the blunt tipped blades to cape him out and there was no meat left at all on the cape and zero holes. When the blade got dull about 20 seconds and I had a new one on pluggin away. It only took 2 blades to do everything but I could have easily done it with one. The blades are so easy to change at the first sign of dullness I changed. I would recomend them to anybody.
