yee freaking HA !!!!! this is my biggest buck yet folks, public land, colorado MULE DEER !!!!! I took him at 82 yards in his bed, he stood up and looked around a tree at me and I dumped him right back into his bed, never twitched once ! I saw him at 8 am with a 3x4, a 2x2, a 1x2 and 4 does, they were leaving at the opposite end of a large meadow into the trees. I parked the truck and took off trying to get in front of him, I stopped after about an hour never seeing them again, I went back to the truck and went to the other rigde across from the meadow thinking they stopped and went back the way they came, after another hour or so no deer. I went back to the truck and went to the road at the end of the meadow and found where they crossed (I should have done that 1st- duh !) after seeing they did go the way I thought first, I parked, got all loaded up again with all my new age fancy million dollar hunting equipment and took off. well that was a bigger hill than I thought it was and after about 100 yards I was ready willing and able to take my morning constitutional. I dropped my pack, laid my gun down, found my wet wipes (I don`t like a dirty stinky arse- ha ha) but before I dropped trou I looked up the hill and this buck was actually looking sideways around a pine tree at me, dropped the wipes, grabbed the trusty 40 year old remington model 600 in 6mm, and took his heart out- 82 yards. that buck went out of the meadow I saw him in, right up the hill and they all laid down. they let me walk by the the first time no farther than 200 yards, the second time at about 400 yards, and they saw my truck and watched me drive past them 3 freaking times- and NEVER MOVED !!!!! this buck was within 200 yards of the first place I saw them when he died ! it was/is my biggest ever. he was estimated at 6.5 years old and it was 332 pounds on the hoof according to the game warden and meat company who did the checking, he is a main frame 4x4 with 6" bases, and really neat curling eyeguards, a faint however visible DOUBLE throat patch, and a beautiful specimen of my beloved MULE DEER ! I wish I could have better hunting photos but when you hunt alone most of the time it just is`nt possible. hope you enjoy this buck because I am going to for the rest of my lifetime !!!!!
