2024 Best Mule Deer Hunt Photo Contest, sponsored by Kryptek

Idaho OTC opener. First year my brother and I have spent serious time scouting, and it paid off Despite all the pressure that showed up opening day, these bucks stuck to their routine. We got mine killed in the morning (right) and my brother's in the evening (left).
Big thanks to the rokcast and huntian podcast for the extra motivation to leave on summer scouting trips while the family is home doing other fun stuff. Leaving that stuff behind to scout is a lot harder than expected!

I’m in, with my best buck to date.

2024 OTC buck. I had scouted a much bigger buck in this canyon. So when I caught this buck on an escape route through the thick cedars I had to make a quick judgement call and I thought this was the buck I scouted. I’m still grateful to be able to take a great buck with great genetics.
