Not much of a story on this one - was poking around this morning on our family's land and caught this guy chasing does along with a couple of smaller bucks. Rutting mule deer are a hoot - at the shot, this one dropped in his tracks but the does ran straight towards me with the other bucks in hot pursuit. Watched the bucks chase the does for a bit at 50+ yards while waiting to take care of this one. They all acted like they had no idea I was there...

All happened within 100 yards of the truck though it was all blow downs in between for the 'pack out'. Custom FN Mauser chambered in the rainbow cartridge - aka 270, with a Barnes 130 TTSX whistle
