Thanks guys! It means a lot so many share my sentiments about this heavy brute! (grin) Just wanted to share my excitement that I had when I walked up on him, I had no idea he was anything like he is???? I figured 170" class at best through the binos, the closer I got the bigger he got, I said out loud to my Son when walking up to himView attachment 4332View attachment 4333, Lord what have we done he is huge!!! The mass is what I first remembered about him, even today I walk into the shop & look at this guy & just shake my head at his awesome size, no kidding! He's heading to the taxi today! Here's a couple other photos! Thanks a ton!
Outstanding job, Paul. Glad your son was there to experience it with you (and by experience I mean pack him out). Thanks for reminding us that there are still good mule deer bucks in parts of the Gem state that aren't big sage flats.
