2024 OFFICIAL Mule deer meat pole thread

[Bigbuckbandit]

2024 Idaho - Been working on my 1971 trail 90 for about 6 months and had the pleasure of taking it a few miles on a single track before hiking up the ridge and camping for a week. Buddy and I both came out with great bucks and lots of memories.

 

[100percent]

Scratched the itch to get one with a handgun...........S&W 657 41Mag, Vortex 3MOA Venom Red Dot, 210gr XTP, 20gr of H110, a little under 40 yards. Idaho OTC, General hunt.

Elmer would be proud! Great job!

Helped a 14 year old kid get his 1st buck this morning.

 

[Tdonat]

shot this one Friday morning in a crazy wind storm. Passed up quite a few bucks but framey 3s tend to get me excited

Washington general season for my 11-year-old son. Got the Seekins 6.5 PRC all dialed in for long range, only for him to shoot him at 100 yards.

(Took his orange off for the picture real quick)

Washington general rifle - My son’s first back country buck. This came after buck fever contributed to him missing a nice buck during a September wilderness hunt weeks earlier. Brutal hunt and pack out that he worked really hard for!

Good job to your son and good job to you dad! That takes a lot of work and commitment from both.

First Muley!! ID general tag rifle. 5.5 miles from the road and 6 days into an elk/deer hunt. Tracked down through the snow and still-hunted his bedding area. Credit to Dwight Schuh's book, and the section on moving slow.. "There's a certain flow in the woods and to be successful you cant break that flow"

Awesome! Ive looked at those over the years. Would you recommend?

Nevada, 10/15/24, rifle, guided, public land. Fun times. Happy hunting, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

They are fun bikes for sure, and a perfect winter project. I have a real love/hate relationship with it but had been dreaming all year about making it out of the mountains with a big bull or buck on the back of it.

Seems an older Trail 90 in good condition goes for around $2k. At that price point I would just spend another grand or two and get a new trail 125, XT250, or a TW200.

Very nice, you have excellent taste in blasters! If I’m not mistaken, that’s a 657 Classic Hunter, a pretty rare piece! Mine is way more accurate than me.

 

[centershot]

That's a good eye - 657 Classic Hunter it is. This one has a 7.5" barrel and is incredibly accurate also. Red dots have given my old eyes a new lease on handgun shooting. Handguns puts the Hunt back into hunting for me. Here's another pic that shows the revolver and buck a little better.
