181 7/8" New Mexico Muley!
Spent opening weekend in New Mexico instead of down on my property in Fisher county and it turned out to be a pretty good move!
Biggest deer of my life!
Only negative was that I was hunting by myself and the camera on my backpack ended up focusing on a clump of grass instead of the deer in the timed shots. Lesson learned there.
Took him by the house before going to the taxidermist and got a picture with my son. He thought it was pretty neat. In his words, I "Boomed a big deer!"
I posted close to a novel on the hunt on my blog with all the details if anyone is interested - http://padens.blogspot.com/
I've still got a smile on my face!!

NICE buck!! Your boy doesn't look TOO excited. I didn't score this one but got him in Wyoming about 10 days ago. My buddies went buffalo hunting and I figured I'd get enough buffalo meat, .... so I went deer hunting, my first love! I'll take my daughter next year and let her "boom" an antelope.
