Good stuff!! Some really nice bucks taken - congrats to all!!

Got a little forked horn muley last Wednesday the 7th at 200 yards with a .270 using 150 gr Nosler Partition. Not a big rack but will taste good! 😊

huntinaz, Damn, that's been on my bucket list my whole life. One of these days I'll get out there and kill a big muley.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

If you have any questions about the AZ draw, let me know.

WY mule deer from this year.
Still after a whitetail in Montana.

Some of you guys will have seen this already, posted elsewhere !

OK, deer (rifle) opener.

Lots of dry does, does & fawns seen in the morning sit.

I let 2 small bucks walk & Deb saw a good one, but never got a shot.

At 5:45, with the light fading, something made me lightly pull down my right side window.

Good deer, on hinds, licking a high branch !

Then the ensuing nightmare of shifting gear, setting up & shooting left handed out of the right side window, all without spooking the deer.

By the time I got back on the deer, he was quartering to me & knew the gig was up.

25-06 barks, good solid hit, deer hunches up & runs.









POA was just inside facing shoulder, to exit behind opposite shoulder.

You can see a tiny exit, mid body, slight blood leak.

Back story, had some issues getting my normal 115gr SST's shoot consistently & with no time left to dick around, I went to my usual fall back, 117gr Federal Fusion.



Bone & ribs going in, top of heart, lungs & creased the liver & 2 ribs going out of the cavity, found under hide !

Shank side, to show integrity of shank.





Hung, gutted, skinned & cleaned up.

Butcher & vacuum pack on Thursday night, 'cause we leave for Europe on Wednesday evening.

Archery season !

NICE 99.

I love hunting in snow. It doesn't happen often enuff here.

Sure is Jerry !

Crazy thing is, that snow & bear kill was 2 weeks before my buck, with no snow !

Nebraska.

Scott...YOU SUCK!

Nice. Congrats!!!!

Looks like the weather cooperated.

Bears and bows!!!! Well done!!!!

Nice one, Scott. Congrats. Details later?

Didn’t you get the memo ?

Nebraska doesn’t count !



Congrats

I enjoy reading all the hunting stories and seeing all the kill pictures, but seeing a kid get his first deer is the best - congratulations to this young man!
