One resident deer tag--- 40.00
One box of 270 WSM ammo--- 29.99
Snacks and drinks for 4 days of hunting--- 50.00+
One orange hunting vest--- 6.99
Mile driven and gas used--- A LOT
Helping your wife shoot her best buck with your four year old son after making an 800 yard stalk, making a good shot in the last 20 min. of light on the last night of the hunt after four days of hunting and wearing your MuleyMadness T-shirt--- Priceless
When we started the hunt she said “I want a 4x4”. I told her that meant passing the smaller ones and maybe not getting one. The last evening of the hunt I was starting to sense just a small bit of frustration of the possibility of not getting one. However as the pictures show----she pulled it off the last night of the hunt in the last 20 mins. of the hunt. I kept telling her “the last 30 min are as good as the first 30 min”.
I have been involved in the taking of many mule deer and trophy mule deer. There is nothing that can substitute being with your wife or kids as they cross their first milestones of hunting.
Enjoy the pics.

Was it a head shot?
He was at a slight quatering away angle when i told her to shoot and she hit her mark. The bullet traveled all the way up and stopped in the skull.
I have a small side business where I do european mounts, my only very small bit of disappointment was that the skull got busted up. I will just have to get a replica skull to put the horns on.
In fact that would be a great FIRST minute buck in my book!! :thumb
Couldn't have happened to better people or Family, congrats!
I agree, it is more satisfying to be there for the 'milestones'.
I'll bet the little tyke was excited too!
Congrats all the way around!
Hopefully starting next year my wife will be with me as we both hunt. Been trying for years to get her to come along but she wants nothing to do with being in camp with a bunch of "smelly" guys. Funny, I never notice I smell until after the hunt. Time to get a camper for her, though.
