Thru the quad tendon. A few inches in another direction and I might not be here. We were 40 mins from medical help. After I stabbed myself, I finished cutting the deer up. I knew once I stood up, it was going to swell and bleed everywhere and we had schit to do. My buddy’s brother died the night before and we had to pack camp and get home. 15 minutes after I did it, I couldn’t bend my leg at all from the swelling. Made for an uncomfortable 7hr ride home.

Smoke pole is correct. Delaware bay black drum. Pretty tasty.
