Attn: RAY HAMMOND...Iowa Update

[**DONOTDELETE**]

WOW! Great buck buddy!

[Shaun]

Steve, that is one dandy mature deer! Nice shooting and pictures. Give me a call this winter if you are still coming to Iowa City for work. We can shoot 20 yards in my heated shop now, save the F&F from all our tall tales.

[Steve O]

Shaun,

That sounds like a good plan; maybe you can show me how to make that braised venison too  

[Steve O]

Many of you asked about the deer cart I was using.  I just saw Cabela's has the Single Wheel model of it on sale.

steve...is that tip the ebony beauty you posted with the lope? hopefully you didnt bloody it up, just ray's knife.....Great Buck! Congrats

[Steve O]

Yep, that's my "dress" bow   :D    I only take it on hunts where I know I can baby it.  So far it is 100%--3 for 3  

[Dave Pagel]

Steve O,

Lechwe tells me that as of the other night it must be 3 for 4!

D.P.

[Ray Hammond]

Steve, I think thats the updated version of my Non Typical cart...very similar...its the same company that makes Rapid Rails and I think Wayne Prejean sold out to one of the big outfits.

Those are some great bucks...and fantastic hero pictures. You guys did a fantastic job getting the pics right!

[Steve O]

Old Shortstop...I don't think we want to tell everybody everything ol' Lechwe says on the internet...do we    :D  

I, like yourself, do have another bow or two    

If you have a chance, give me a call in the morning.  I'll be driving from 7-9.

[Steve O]

Ray,

I thought the Non-Typical had kind of a "V" to lay the deer in?

I just remember there were more questions about the cart tahn the deer when I originally posted, so when I saw the other night they were on sale, I thought I would let everybody know.

Oh, and used the knife on another deer the other day and finally had to get out the KME rather than my steel to put the edge back on.  Very happy with the damascus  

[Yellow Dog]

Steve, just ordered one of the carts that you had on your link. Getting too old to drag big stuff!!!!!

[Mo. Huntin]

congrats on a great deer.  Very nice bow as well.

[Biggie Hoffman]

the 1st coupla posts I thought you were trying to tell us you killed that deer with Ray's knife.....

[Steve O]

Biggie,

That was just a little inside info for Ray...he got my knife done in time for me to use it on my Pronghorn hunt and I couldn't bring myself to use it it was so gorgeous...he tore me a new one, so I promised I would use it on a big Iowa buck.

Worked out good for me    ; I don't break promises!

[Ray Hammond]

That buck would have needed a lot bigger knife, Big!!!!

Steve, the nontypical cart does NOT have a V on it...I will take a pic of mine next week when I am back over in SC and we'll do a comparison.

[Lechwe]

Steve,

Now that just hurts. That's going to leave a deep emotional scar.  

Dave,

Just to be sure, you obviously are not counting last years tally correct?
