2018 Best Buck Mule Deer Photo Contest, sponsored by Kryptek

This was a smart buck he had a nice scar on his chest where he had Ben shot before. I tried many different tactics and none worked. I stumbled on him stalking another deer that looked just like him but a little smaller on back forks. 15 yards and he would not stand up. I crunched branches made a bleed noise drew back three times. I finally just stood there waiting and finally his antlers dipped down and forward I new he was getting up and he ran to 30 yards and I let the arrow fly deep quartering away pinned his shoulder but knew I had one lung. Watched him for a bit knew he was hurt but not dying. Walked to my truck and drove around where I knew I could sneak j. Again. Pulls more are and some running and we both where wore out and he expired. What a hunt three days later took a bear on the gut pile. What a lucky year.

for those who've asked for an extension to this contest for the December hunts, what we'll probably do is allow you to enter those in the 2019 contest. Someone help me remember when I post the contest next summer I said this!

We'll be closing this thread in the next few days, so get your entry in.

Wasnt able to hunt as much this year as I usually do but was able to get away for a week with my buddy and we made the best of it, this guy popped out and only had a second to decide, saw he had awesome fronts and was glad I didnt let him walk when I got over to him, most symmetrical buck I've killed to date

Sore legs and big smiles with the three best buds I've ever had. A pile of meat and my first kicker buck and my friends first bull after opening week in the MT back country. Can't wait to do it again.
