I may be over reacting but I just shot my first Mule Deer ever this week. I shot a Mule deer doe on wednseday and a Hammer ( in my opinion) of a buck on Friday with 30 min left in the hunt.
I was on a week long bow hunt with Montana whitetails Inc. located right outside of Boseman. We were hunting during gun season with our bows.THe weekwas slowwe were seeing deer butnothing we wanted to shoot then Thursady and friday 4 whitetails went dowm all around or above pope and young.Anyway after a long weekI saw a very, very nice whitetailbuck on friday AM but nothing doing for that big boy he just was not responding to the calling. SO with that said to make a very long story short. I execised an option for a last minute chase on Mule deer. Now never in a million years did I think I would harvest a buck of this caliber. BUt Keith, owner of MOntana whittails, busted his but and we got it done. I could not be more proud of this deer. I am being told by a few that it may score in the mid to upper 170's. I have no clue to be honest I am usually an archery whitetail nut. But when an opportunity presents itself like this how could i refuse. After alot of glassing, alot of UP hill and my longest shot ever (235 yards) I ended up with a great memory and trophy. Once again Kieth went above and beyond. hope the pic post.
First Muley, Hammer buck!!
