My first real mule deer hunt and a great buck! I hunted with my dad, @TheCougar
We got this buck opening morning, then packed him out 3.5 miles and I experienced first hand what my dad has told me about packouts. We helped some friends for 3 more days and didn’t see another decent buck the entire time.
I also lost a bet, so I have to buy my dad a coffee gift card, give him the title of “Big Buck Killer”, and wear the “World’s Okayest Hunter” t-shirt whenever he tells me too. I really thought I was going to win after I killed my buck!
Another page for the memory book! Dad has still got it: he helped me pack this buck out of a nasty canyon. Thanks @TheCougar and @BunnyThumper for your help and friendship!
My intention for this tag was to hunt over Thanksgiving weekend but we are having some family issues so we went opening weekend. I was pretty focused on filling the tag and found this guy the morning of day 2.
He was a beautiful buck and I am very thankful to have found him. Passed a bigger one the day before, but no regrets.
