Hunting Big Mule Deer Migration Style

[robby denning]

Awesome buck, congrats Robby! I think that is one of the coolest bucks I’ve seen posted this year! Glad it all came together for you and gives me hope on hunting easy to get tags.

Think you’ll post the footage you got of him walking around? I always like to watch big bucks, especially rutting.

I think i can without showing too much. Haven't had time to go through all of it and see what i have. But at some point, I hope to.

Huge congratulations, Robby! One of the most beautiful bucks I’ve ever seen, he’s a dandy! The podcast was an awesome listen and your excitement for the hunt and big mule deer is contagious

Unbelievable! That buck is as good as it gets for my taste

I'm pretty confident I know the area that buck came out of. There are A LOT of bears in that zone.

Nice work! Maybe one day I'll find a giant like that!

thanks Steve. That image with me was taken with a Micro 4/3 Olympus Aron Snyder gave me 13 years ago! I'm surely not running it right but it takes a pretty good pic.

Great buck and great podcast, way to stay humble.
Sorry, but that rifle looks out of place, you need a beard and some fancy beard oil to shoot a rifle like that .

That is one hell of a buck! Can't wait to listen to the episode. Congrats!

Congrats Robby!
How long was the buck on its feet after you fired 3 more rounds? I’m thinking I like that 270 WSM!

maybe 30 seconds.

But to be fair, I’ve had to shoot multiple shots on some bucks with all the calibers (7mm mag & 270WSM). It all depends on the quality of that first shot.

You’re just doing it with a lot more recoil.

And something interesting, I can’t take the 6UM to Mexico because of the suppressor so I have to take the 270wsm.

I hadn’t shot it since June so I got it back out this weekend and rolled a few tires and shot a few milk jugs and man is it hard to go back to a hard recoiling rifle.

I could tell when I was shooting at the first tire it shocked me how hard it kicked and I missed the first two shots before I hit it. It is definitely easier on the subconscious nerves when you’re used to a low recoil.

Congratulations on a great buck along with your horse, Charlie. Not many more fun ways to hunt big game than with a horse or mule. Those mule deer when they get that size are amazing animals.

Only have been around one full scale mule deer migration. Was outside of Pocatello,ID a couple hours ,into WY. We saw about 50-60 deer on the move in a migration corridor , in a short two hour period. All mule deer heading in the same direction down out of the mountains .Within hours we were in a full blown blizzard and our road back to Pocatello was closed by the storm. We ended up spending the night in a hotel until the next morning when the storm ended and the highway department reopened the road. Traveling for work in western WY, over the years I have seen some smaller mule deer migrations of deer all moving in the same direction in one of the well known migration corridors. Unfortunately there was also a pretty good number of road killed dead mule deer along this stretch of secondary highway.
