Hey HuntingBC,
Well i have reached my limit for deer and it was a happy ending to my deer season, this season started off with a 5x4 whitetail with matching double browtines, then there was a spike mule takin in region 3 so i could have some more meat, and now this guy was takin in region 8.
well heres how it all went down, after goin out thrusday moring, friday evening, saturday moring, sunday moring, and out of those 4 days i only seen 4 moose all cows and 4 deer no antlers, so after seeing not a damn thing on sunday moring not even a grouse and a chipmunk, something in the back of my head was tellin me to go look for an immy i have seen about a week ago, I got to my spot where i wanted to hunt thismoring a bit early about 15-20min before i could see, so i sat there and ejoyed some hot chocolate yumm yumm, Once i could see i started to mozzy on down the road, made it to then end with out seeing a thing about a 20min hunting speed drive, i turned around at the end of the road and started to head back and check the upper road, and about half way back to the Y in the road i spotted movement out my side of the truck and hit the breaks, i jumped outta my truck and got to the first rock i could see for a rest, i scoped him with my Leupold Canadian 4x12x50 at about 175-200 yards and i seen he was a buck and a nice one was taller then his ears, when he turned his head i noticed the one side was a nice tall 3point and i have never shot a 3point muley before only spikes and 2points and being any buck still i thought im takin this one, and BANG!!! off went the 300 Win Mag. the buck did a big jump and kick so i knew i had hit him good, so i grabbed my bag with all my knives and saw in it and headed for where he was standing when i shot him, when i got up to where i had shot him there was no blood so i started to walk the way he went after i shot him (towards the tree line), still there was no blood, after about 20 min or so i headed back to where i had shot him starting to feel dissapointed and that i may not recover this one, and after walkin in circles where i had shot him, i found blood and was very excited :mrgreen:, so i started to follow the blood trail for about 50-60yards and the blood trail stopped so i was thinkin come on, and as i was standing over top of the last drop of blood i could find, I started to spin in a circle and there he was layin dead about 10-15 yards away from me and only about 50-60 yards from where i shot him, and at that time i noticed holy S**t hes a 4x3 and then the HOOTIN AND HOLLERIN STARTED, he is also the biggest Mule Deer i have ever shot to date, and after a hour and a half solo drag out
Here is a pic of my first 4x3 muley
