This is my buddy Phil from MD. He got this guy 4 hours into a 5 day hunt, then hunted horseback with his camera for the remaining time. It was his first hunt "out west" and his first muley, but if I know Phil, it won't be his last.

The shot placement was a bit higher than he would have liked, but turned out perfectly. The 30-06 round severed the spinal cord without touching any loins. This first photo is how he laid as we approached him initially, exactly where he stood prior to the shot.


And here is the "pose" photo
