I am from Idaho, so I have always been a mule deer hunter. Over the last few years I have been noticeing a lot of white tails on the river bottoms around the area. I have found the sheds from this buck for the last two years in a row. The only time I could ever see him was before or after hunting season. On November 12 all my time in the stand finally payed off. This smart old 6x6 snuck out of the woods so slowly. He would only take about 2 steps, and then he would stop and look around. He was facing me the whole time, until he got about 10 yards away. Then he finally turned broudside for me. When I pulled the bow back he looked in my direction, but it was too late. I let it fly. The arrow went right through and was laying on the ground covered in blood. He turned straight around, and caught his antler in a tree, which almost flipped him right over on his back. But he got untangled and ran off. I waited half an hour and went after him. He had only gone about 50 yards. His gross score is 171, and he ranks 2 in the state for Pope and Young.
