And so the story continues, as in most hunting camp stories they will be some variations and exaggerations over time. But this one you can consider as gospel with the possible exaggeration. So when you regroup to go on follow a blood trail and ask her hunting partner if they have their light and their flagging and their water and a rope it may behoove you to inspect their kits or just carry your own. Against our better judgment due to circumstances beyond our control we pushed back into the woods after only allowing 3 hours for are wary to expire. Returning to the spot of last blood the trail immediately began to trickle out. As we picked our way to the logical descent path toward the swamp Sean Mc C was walking the swamp edge looking for muddy tracks and came upon the wounded 7 pointer. We rallied the group when I asked my brother for his rope and to get his knife ready he handed me a 38 inch section, of line before I tied a Knot in it. By the time we had no group in one end and a full wrap on my hand there was possibly 18 inches of ERROR room. Now I can tell you when you sneak up on a seven-point Buck with his head up and hes not dead after the experience last week with another smaller buck .... be ready with the knife there are 2 more hunters with the story we will tell their grandkids. When I dropped the loop around his antlers he remained relatively calm when I cinched the loop tight as the observers said my brother went from 0 to 35 miles an hour in under 30 yards. This would not of been a problem if I had 2 wraps on my hand but with the 18 inches of slack line there would have been no room for error. So we regrouped and continued to follow our query where Sean tried the same routine by grabbing an antler and having to let go and Anthony C grabbed the rope and proceeded to get a rope burn as his prize ran away yet again. On the 4th attempt the rope was immediately wrapped around the small tree pictured in the previous statement in the query was dispatched with a knife in a timely fashion.
