About 30 miles from here there is wildlife management area that is a hot spot for Julie's this time of year. There is a lot of small chunks of private land and the people feed the deer year round. So there are a lot of does around. Mid November and does equals bucks. Some giants have been taken out of this area so we headed up after work with only a couple hours to hunt. Right across the road from the parking lot was about 10 does and a 160-170 class buck not 50 yards off the road. We were hopin he would cross but never saw him again. We hiked in about 1/2 mile and found a spot to sit where we could see. We weren't there 2 minutes when my Dusti spotted a buck coming down the hill. We didn't have time to wait on him so we planned a stalk. We got to close to him and he followed his does out across the open about 50'yards in front of us. He was at a steady walk and wouldn't stop. Classic mulie though, and he stopped and looked back at us about 150 yards on the crest if the hill. She shot and he kicked and ran off in the trees. We ran up the hill and he was standing in the trees real sick. She popped him again and her first mulie buck was down! She used her Ruger hawkeye all weather 270 win with 150gr hornadys over some h-1000. ![[Linked Image]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/cole_smith/8D1C13F9-770D-4A8C-8BD8-9F6FEF13375E-1063-00000122EE071965.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/cole_smith/A94197EC-8C6B-473B-B1B5-12A783E2D074-1063-00000122EC5ECED6.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/cole_smith/049A0D7C-04CE-40B5-9164-DB2BEA848217-1063-00000122EEEA9224.jpg) This dude was the nastiest smelling thing I've ever been around in my life. Took a lot to not gag while guttin him!

Congrats!
Wonder what made him smell?
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

I found a wizard and asked him if he can remove a curse I had been living with for the last 20 years. The Wizard says, "What were the exact words that were used to put the curse on you." I say without hesitation, "I now pronounce you man and wife."

[bleep] a! I can't wait to get my wife hunting deer with me! I wouldn't trade anything for the opportunities we get to hunt together. Nothing like seein their smile after the deer drops. We had a blast dragging it out together and reliving the stalk and shot!
