In all my years of hunting this is the only time I ever had this kind of a problem! Our “buck pole” had to many deer on it and it started sagging to the ground. Actually there were seven deer hanging before this picture was taken. We had started to remove them, so we could strengthen our pole. Its hard to tell, but the buck in the middle was a 17 pointer, and the one beside it was a 10 pointer. There were also two sixes, and a spike (accident!) along with two doe.
This was a Kentucky hunt with Randy Mills. It has been my privilege to go with him twice, and I have taken four deer, and seen several trophy class bucks. The second year I went I arrowed a nice eight pointer, only to have my “mechanical broadhead” not open up on impact. I caught part of the shoulder and only got two inches of penetration. That was the day I ceased using that type of broadhead, and went back to my two blades! There are also many turkey’s in the area, and a coyote or two as well. We’ve never taken a fishing pole, but the ponds in the area look like they are probably holding some nice bass!
If you read this Randy I’m available to go with you again this year!

I wish our buck pole had that problem…even just one time! Great picture.
