Here is my 2015 Mule deer. Shot him on my 40th birthday, one heck of a birthday present. 475 Yards with a 280ai pushing 168 Berger VLD.

My buddy had a good look at this buck before I shot him, I never did. There were three bucks in this group, the smallest probably a 150 inch or so buck, I knew I needed to take one. This buck put his head in a mesquite before I got set up, Ben told me to take him, I still didn't know how big he was. When we walked up on him I was without words, just stood there in disbelief, Ben was celebrating enough for the both of us. This buck scored 203 3/8.

Good show!

I got my best on my 41st birthday. (The buck, too, was a year older. grin)
It's a neat coincidence to own.

Did you age this buck by chance? It generally takes a few years to gather that kind of mass - not to mention the stickers.

My buddy took a quick look at him, figured he was around 6 or so. Taxidermist was going to take a look also.
