Woo Hoo http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/party/party0024.gif
Finally ! After 25 YEARS of hunting I finally shot my big mulie.
Talk about a looooong drought. I could never quite put it all together. But thats all in the past.
Here's the story...
I have been hunting the same area fairly hard this year and helped Dad take his 2x2 mulie. We have been seeing LOTS of does every day but just small bucks. On sunday I was getting out of my truck just as it was getting light out when my old neighbour came around the corner on his quad. We talked about the area and what we have been seeing. I told him I would be happy with ANY 4 point. He said he would go above me on the skidder trail to push any deer their down. I only saw 1 doe and 2 young deer below me when I heard his quad coming towards me. I looked thru my binos to see him waveing at me to come up to him. I grabbed my gun & fanny pack and off I went limping (I had surgery 2 weeks ago on my knee) up the hill to him. He had seen 10 does and a 4 point buck at only 10 yards. I guess the buck did not want to leave his does. We went up the road as fast as we could to the skidder road and slowly putted in. We get to the spot where he saw the deer and they were still there http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0045.gif. The buck was in the heard of does. I made sure he had 4 points on 1 side. Picked my shot. And BANG !!! Down he went. It was not the longest shot I have made, just 25 yards :shock:.
I love it when a plan comes together.
