OK....this thread seems to have stalled so I'll add mine in the hopes that others will do the same. I just got through the Whitetail thread and have a bad case of Antler Envy...LOL
My 1st 4pt and only 2nd ever Mule Buck.
Harvested Nov 23 2013
Now, while I would love to have some elaborate story of how I tracked this guy for miles, etc, etc. The truth of the matter is that my miles of walking today netted me 4 Doe sightings in 4.5hrs with nary a buck to be seen.
I left the truck about 6:30 and walked up an old logging trail in a no vehicle access area and got back to the truck about 11:00 completely exhausted.
At this time I figured I would drive further up the hill, find a nice cut block to park over and have a nap. Well that plan went to #### about 6k up the road where this guy was making his way through a cut.
He was quartering away from me but I figured I would sacrifice the far shoulder to drop him. Hit a lung and broke the fellas far leg. I had to finish him with a shot to the head from 2ft away. I gave him about 10 mins of his own time to expire but it just wasn't happening so I made the 108yd trek to finish him off quickly.
