I drew a late deer tag in the guided draw for area 06 (NW of Elko) in Nevada. I flew down from AK to hunt the last 5 days of this hunt (Nov 1-5) as I wanted to catch some of the rut activity. The first winter storm of the season rolled in the day after Halloween, and I was able to harvest my first decent muley the day after it snowed (Nov. 2) in the mountains. Saw shooter bucks every day and had a close encounter with a bigger buck on the morning the storm moved in. My buck was guarding his harem of 13 does.

I was shooting my son's M77 MkII 308 Win (yet again). 150 gr NBT's launched @ 2,900 fps and impacting at 150 yds for a complete broadside pass thru.

Last year during the late elk season, I saw what was probably the highest scoring typical buck I have ever seen, in that area.
By the way, very nice buck.
