That’s awesome. Elevation? Looks pretty high for 3rd.

10,400 was where I killed. We were seeing deer above 11,500 even.

What a blessing to be able to hunt and spend time in Creation. Spotted this buck on public land at around 0845 tending a handful of does and with a satellite buck in tow.

Deliberated what move to make with swirling winds and thick canyons. Ended up pulling a long safe stalk that would put me within 200 yards. Long story short, they jumped ridges and caught me. No shot.
•
I went up the ridge they were on to rehab and think about life decisions. Within a few minutes I saw his lead doe moving across a ridge at 450 yards. The bucks harem worked the same trail one by one while I got set and dialed way up! Pretty soon the buck followed and stood broadside. I had to collect my breath more than once - but executed a perfect shot and watched him fall.

Nice buck! I’ve hunt NE public some when I lived there and it can be a challenge to stir up a good one. Good work!

Thank you! Nebraska public land for mule deer is not bad, but the amount of competition is insane.

Killed my first mulie buck on day 7 of 2nd season at 11:45am. Stalked him from above with an east wind, shot downhill off a rock and my knee at 171 yards. Ruger American Gen II, 16” barrel, Trijicon 2.5-10 scope, DD suppressor, 143 ELDX, through both shoulders and lungs, did not take a single step. So thankful.

Just an FYI. Your license is a carcass tag not an antler tag. The warden can give you a ticket if they feel like being a dick. When quartered it should go on the largest piece of meat which typically is the rear hind that has evidence of sex on it.

Congrats on your deer

Noticed a few tagged that way in here. It's silly but true and they will give you grief about it most likely.
