Re: POST YOUR 08 MULEY HERE
Well, I hunted the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho again. This was my 3rd year out there and I think I've finally started to learn how to hunt this terribly steep country. Luckily I only had to put about 20 miles overall on my feet. Nearly half of previous years. (I don't spike camp into the far back country because no one I go hunting with wants to come with me!)
I told myself I was not going home without my first 4 point, and I failed.
The first 3 days of hunting we were getting hit with nearly continuous snow, and when the 4th day came around and the weather was good, I decided to see if I was right about where the deer come migrating from.
I couldn't pass this guy up. Matter of fact, I thought I saw 4 points on his left side (doh!). He wouldn't stop moving his head. He was nearly 300 yds away so I tried to aim a little high and wounded him just under the spine. I chased him into some timber and put him down with a 20 yd standing shot. I guess I should get a rangefinder and a new scope. I have a Redfield Widefield 3x9, and the eye relief is terrible for me. I had a bad rest for the 2nd shot I made at range (which missed) and the scope got me in the nose.

I'm still patiently waiting for my first 4x4, and I have to do it on public land by my own senses. When the day finally comes, I hope I'm not too nervous to hold still!
