The pink hoodie once again proves it's luck!

I passed up a few smaller bucks the opening morning. Alot of tough hiking up steep canyons to get away from all the orange hunters everywhere you would look.
I couldnt resist when this 4x4 buck stepped out broadside at 80 yards. dropped him with one lung shot.. Im pretty dang happy with my first buck!
Met 2 new hunting partners along the way, thanks for all their help dragging him out and impressed them when a "girl" gutted her own buck
Chad said he was humiliated when a chick out shot him heeheehee
hes not a monter but couldnt of been happier with the adventure
Found a 4 pt deer shed, a moose shed and petrified baby starfish.. needless to say the pack was heavy coming out of there

"Hells Canyon" the name says it all. Perdy from the ridge but miserable getting up there

Thanks guys :) Yup first Utah buck. He's a little guy compaired to the bucks up there. I couldnt pass up the oppertunity though! I had a blast on my hunt and couldnt be happier with him.. getting ready to make jerky tonight!

One question.. Ive heard if you soak the meat in milk overnight it will drownd out the game taste.. Is that true?

I want the first Pink Muley Madness Hoodie lol

I WOULDN'T soak the meat in Milk IMO. Works on duck meat better, but would ruin deer meat to me.

Congrats! Great buck. As far as the milk thing goes, I agree with MM, we use it on goose meat and certain saltwater fish. I have been using a lot of different soy and brown sugar combos lately. I have had people who never ate venison ask for some to bring home with them. You can always lay bacon on the steaks while they are cooking as well, that will keep them moist and impart a little flavor.

I happen to be eating Muley buck steak right now, fresh from my WY hunt. Back strap, dusted with flour, fried in Canola. Doesn't seem gammy, little chewy. :-k . I like it with 57 sauce.
Anyway congrats on your hunt, that's a nice buck :thumb You did the hunt just right. 10sign:
