Default Muzzy Mulie '12

Got my mulie on the last morning of the season. Not the biggest I saw while hunting but he sure works for me. After blowing a stalk at first light on "the big one", I was walking back to the truck thinking that my season was over, I had to make the long trip home with nothing. About 100 yards from the truck this one pops his head above some sage brush to take a look at me. I about crapped myself with delight. I had to wait for him to take a few steps before I could see his shoulder. Popped him through the lungs, he ran about 40 yards closer to my truck , thank you very much.

Congratulations on a great deer. I sure would have shot that. What's the old saying, I will take luck anyday. Way to go.

Great deer! I passed on bucks smaller than that, but would have taken him. Instead I ate tag soup.
