Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game High Racked Muley Video Clip

OK, I was a little bored and though I'd download another short clip from last year's mule deer hunt. What do you guys think of this W TX buck?




I believe this is the same buck I got on my trail cam which was overlooking a watering...

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I'd say he's the same one as the still pic. That one in the middle looked like he had some mass...

Nice....did ya'll ever shoot that middle one?

He's real nice.

Shooter............decent+ buck.

You want to guide me...cheap..grin.

Nice bucks.

I see signs of a very rare but deadly disease amongst the deer in your pics and vids.

I need to come out during hunting season and investigate further.

May have to kill all the big ones, as they are the worst carriers.

No need to thank me and I won't accept money, just making sure that the remainder of the herd is healthy is thanks enough for me.

I'd like nothing better than to have a guy or two like you to hunt with. Mainly because you "coonass" types are really good about camp food

We didn't kill either of those bucks this past year either. Those bigger bucks sure seem to know the program.

Agreed, a little weak on his back right but looked pretty impressive going over the hill.

JG, you are the man! I needed to see that video today bud! Thanks!

I hate to disappoint you but I'm not a coon ass. I'm from Mississippi (redneck), just over here living amongst them for now...

But I do have a bunch of their recipes.

JG,
Cool video, it also answers the often asked question about muleys stopping to pose before going over the ridge.

JG, I am from south Louisiana now living in central part of the state and I would be happy to come and bring my Dad to handle the kitchen duties while I assist you in the field. He's an 80 year old Coonass and he can cook - grin

thems nice bucks,i have a few stills that can compare with them

What continues to be interesting about hunting big mulies, to me anyway, is how tough a mature buck can be to find. This is a 100 section private ranch, low deer densities, allowing 4 guns total, and very light hunting pressure over the past 8 years. It's a 9 day season. We scouted our arses off, trail cams over water, etc for a couple of months prior to the season and knew the wereabouts of no fewer than 6 bucks over 180". Although my buddy did kill a 200" brute, we saw exactly none of the bucks we scouted....NONE.

Very familar story. If you think those bucks are tough, come to my public land hunts and try our bucks. At least your buddy got one.
BTW, thanks for the great video. Always a treat to see those big, spooky bucks. E

Thanks E. Your point is well taken.....big muleys are tough anywhere.

JG
I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that has trouble finding the old muleys. I've hunted the same ranch in Pecos County since 1992 and know there are quite a few deer out there, I just can't seem to find very many old ones.

Seeing any elk yet down there willowcreek?

No elk where we are, I think we're too far north.

JG,

How did your season wind up?

Out of 4 hunters we were able to down a very nice 29" 185" class buck, another 175" buck, and I got lucky with a 190" class buck that was 31" wide. How'd you guys do?
