2018 Mule Deer Meat Pole

My CO 2nd season buck. I glassed this guy bedded down 320 yds. away on a hillside above our camp the afternoon of opening day. I didn't dial up my scope enough and shot a bit low but found him 45 minutes later. Since I was holding out for a mature buck, I almost passed on the opportunity since he didn't look as big or unique through my binos....glad I setup and seized the moment!! I'm still curious on what caused his antler trauma on his right side. Almost as if something was wrapped around the antler as it was developing.

Agreed! That buck is big all over. His body is so big that I almost didn't notice quite how heavy and wide he really. Congratulations to you and your wife TravKatQ.

3rd season Colorado muley. First time hunting this unit and on a second choice tag. Also my wife’s first hunt. She was a perfect spotter before and during the shot, giving me ranges and the position of the deer. Pretty great experience we got to share! Unfortunately we did not fill her tag so next year she will be the primary shooter.
