I've shot a boatload of mulies but I decided to take a whitetail this year and I was very surprised and happy with him. I missed a smaller one that was with him and this guy ran 30-40 yards and stopped (thank you rut) and I drilled him. Very cool heavy compact rack. I'm going to do a European mount on him.

It's in a draw off a creek bottom in Montana. I hadn't found a muley I wanted to shoot after hiking through the hills so I did an easy evening hunt in the bottoms. Ran into a small group of whitetails in the draw and it happened in a flash like it usually does.

mbhunt, Beautiful buck ! Same story with me, have shot several blacktail and mule deer, but got my first whitetail this year too. Nothing like yours, but still very excited over it.
Idaho F&G also had a special hunt this year for Mulie and Whitetail for a chronic wasting disease study. Got a whitetail doe tag, and scored there too.
Plenty of tasty deer meat this year.

My son and I hunted unit 14 this year for mulies. He shot a 4x4 and he sent in lymph nodes to see if it had chronic wasting disease. I don't think he's got the results back yet.

Not sure on his age but I'd think he was probably 5+ years. He definitely had been through some battles as you noticed with his ears.

300 Win Mag with Black Hills ammo and 165gr Hornady GMX bullet. Shot was probably 175ish yards but with it happening in a blur in low light shooting off my knees it made it a tad sportier.
(Any leads where to find that ammo for sale will be appreciated!!)
