View Full Version : My Biggest Mulie Yet!

Finally got him. I have been after a big mulie for a couple of years and the stars finally alined (?). Story is, a friend took me to an area he knew, I was going along to help him get his buck and I only took my gun to back him up if needed. We found a group of bucks, almost all 4x4's, with one really exceptional buck. We spotted them in the morning and they were feeding through openings in the timber. We had no chance and decided to wait until they bedded which happened at about 10:00 in a small timber block not far from their feeding area. By early afternoon we had worked our way around them downwind and found a nice hillside overlooking the bedding area that would offer us a shot if when they moved out. At about 3:00 the biggest buck appeared on the far side of the timber, between 350 and 400 yards. My friend didn't feel he could make the shot which was a very ethical decision on his part and it worked out great for me!! Needless to say I made the shot and down he went. I green scored him right around 185" which was a little smaller than I had thought but who's complaining!

Wicked mass on that buck Bruin. Beautiful deer. Great symmetry. Even some decent brows. If those 2 back tines had a few inches he would have been a gagger. Pushing that 200 mark. Definitely a shooter. Well done. Looks like not a bunch of deductions so should net out really well. Great job!

Thanks everybody, he's definitely the buck I've been dreaming about!
To answer the questions:
I owe my buddy not only a few wobbly pops but also a really nice mulie buck which will probably take up the rest of the season. The problem is he is way to nice of a guy and far too generous, I don't know if I can outdo him.
As for where this buck was shot, it was in the chest on Notellum Creek, right next to Zippermouthe Mnt. That would be region 9 in the regs.
I will definitely be mounting this buck. It will go right next to Dad's because its BIGGER! Ha!
