I took this old nanny on national forest on saturday evening. 16 yards, slight quartering to, Sitka spruce arrow, ACE standard 145 and down in 100 yards.

My wife didn't have much time to hunt this season so we made the most of the 2 days she had and found a little 4 for her. 285 yards through the lungs and he tumbled all the way down from those rocks above. Still have my dad, brother, and maybe myself to go. 25 miles with thousands of vertical feet in the last week and I'm feeling it now that I've got a cold. Hoping I heal up so I can finish strong.

Couldn’t be more happy with this old guy, Idaho OTC (or OTC get in random Line Tag)

Some opening morning success for my 13yr old! I’ve been watching this buck and got some great video of him a couple days prior to the season.

I was able to get it done with my kids and a muzzleloader yesterday.

Thank you Lord for these critters.

Well my deer season is basically done now. Got bucks for a best bud (post earlier), my wife (no pic that doesn't reveal too much about location), my brother, and my dad. Dad was hoping for a better buck but after 9 days in the mountains, he settled for this guy with character (and a busted leg from someone's garbage shooting). No way he was making it to the winter grounds much less surviving the winter we have coming here in Wyoming. Had a great 10 days in the backcountry and can't wait to do it all again next year. Now on to elk in a few weeks!

Man.. being from SoCal I see these pics you guys post up of thee vast expanses of flat and think about how It's possibly easier to traverse the space in between you and them... but at the same I'm guessing can be much more physical to sneak up to bow range?? Is there a lot of belly crawl invovled when the terrain is so open lke that?

The country was more broken than that pic alludes to. There were a couple stalks that involved crawling but for the most part it was just sneaking over the hill they were bedded against.

My brother's 185" and my 168¼" Wyoming bucks. I used most of the season, but never saw the caliber buck that I was searching for. (.... until the damn day after my tag was filled when a 190+ jumped out from below a fishing hole nowhere near the backcountry... fml). I'd passed for two days on him, but i was low on time to move areas, and my body was run down from 100+ miles of deer and archery elk. I felt bad taking a character buck that would be a bruiser next year, but my freezer was empty and he was in a very convenient spot for a pack out. (FYI he tastes great!)

Weird season. Full moon and there were tons of deer out, weather hits and they go nocturnal.... the opposite of what it should be! Weird year for sure.

I'd say your buck is older than your brothers, not all bucks grow big forks and frames, good job both of you!

Got this guy in Southern Wyoming October 1. My biggest buck to date

 

[N2TRKYS]

First mule deer buck. Public land, diy. He’s a 12 point back home. Out here, he’s a 5x5 with eye guards.

I was pretty tickled to get this last minute of the last day buck. Nice to notch the tag again this year, almost unexpectedly, because I was just 300 yards from the truck on my way out when I jumped him.
