My biggest Mule deer

[grizzlyking]

Well i went out hunting on saturday morning with my dad to one of the cut blocks that we have been watching for a little while. We got there at around 5:30 am in the morning and it did'nt take long to get in to my blind, by 6:00 am the first doe walked by me with this buck right behind followed by two more bucks ad about 8 more doe's. It took a few minutes to make sure there were four points on one side by then he was about 100 yards away. I took the shot and missed (major buck fever) the second shot went right through the front sholder but he did'nt go down right away, the third shot put him down though it was 6:15 and i had my deer.This was the shortest hunting trip i have ever had,the last pic is my dad with my deer.

nice one..ha ha to the buck fever..takes a real hunter to admit it..it will pass in time though..
what do figure it weighed?

 

[grizzlyking]

It weighed 170 pounds when it was gutted and the head,hide and feet removed.So i figured it was around the 270 mark when it was whole

Nice. I didn't even get out this weekend.

Yes it was 8-10, and the pill it took was a hand loaded 190 grain hornday BTSP from my 30-06 tikka.

I have never seen a mulie in real live but that looks like a nice one.
Maybe one day I will be able to make it out to BC to visit my brother and maybe get a hunt in.
