Hey gang! So I found a solid buck this July, and lost him in August. Robby kept encouraging me that he wouldn't go far and just grind it out. I've been filming sheep hunts the last 2 weeks but finally got a small window to grab the bow and give it a shot. Glassed him up Thursday morning and after a 2 hour stalk he slipped through my fingers. Thursday evening I glassed him up again and moved in. After thinking he'd given me the slip again I was ranging some brush in the trees in case I were to bust him out I'd have a range reference. As soon as the range popped up I saw antler tines move... he was bedded right next to the brush. I stalked into 65 yards, and as he would look away from me I'd scoot myself out little by little so his vitals would be visible. After getting a clear shot at the vitals he finally looked straight away from me. I drew, anchored the string to the corner of my mouth, nose on the string, level, pin and sent an arrow down range. The arrow was like a laser beam in my mind going exactly where I'd put it. Got a pass through on both shoulders and he went 150 yards before tipping over dead. Snapped some photos before a monsoon decided to take over my packout. Still can't believe I pulled it off... a solo high country archery mule deer has been a dream of mine for a long time. Having a brief history with the buck just makes it that much more special!
