Nice Rack!

My oldest got his first deer last saturday. He has been hunting with me for a few seasons but the deer never cooperated for him until last weekend. I would have to say that this guy makes up for some of the disappointment of the last couple seasons... Location is northeast of Hanna, AB. Shot on the move at a range of ~50yds with a sportered Swede 96 Mauser in 6.5x55.

Not even the dirty work could wipe the smile off his face.

The rule in our group is if you shoot it, you gut it. He has helped skin and butcher other animals but this was the first time he had to stick his hands into a warm set of guts. No way was I letting him slide on that experience.

For a mule deer he has horns like a white tail . What tag did you put on him.

It is hard to tell in the pics, but they are definitely mulie antlers. We tagged him as a mulie.

Great job! Love to see the new members of the hunting culture. Would rather see that youngster shoot one sooner than myself!

Excellent!!!!!! I love unforked antlers on mulies.

Brings back memories of 31 years and five days ago, when I shot my first whitetail. Dad methodically instructed me, while I did my first ever field dressing of anything larger than a snowshoe hare. He knew that I would learn quicker, that way, as compared to watching him do it. Great memories!!!!!!!!!!!
