Txhunter58' s 7x8 mulie (PICS)
Just got back from an early rifle high country hunt in Colorado. Waited 8 years to get picked. Backpacked in 4 miles. Hunting area was another 1-1/2 miles into wilderness. Sundown of opening day, stillhunting timberline and saw a mature buck. Put him down with one shot from my 270 loaded with 140 grain Hornady light magnums at 150 yards. He is still in velvet. 29" wide main frame. Including double brow tines on both sides, he is a 7x8. Just shy of 6" bases. I am sure he is no record breaker, but he is really a great trophy to me. Packing him out on our backs about 5-1/2 miles was a killer, but I never hurt so good!
I am going to have him mounted in the velvet. Looks cool to me. If anyone knows how to post pictures and wouldn' t mind posting a few, shoot me an email and I will send them to you.
Good hunting!
