2011 Mule Deer

[Deadeye]

Got this 4x3 on the 2nd morning of the hunt 9/29 on a beautiful day at about 9000 ft. The .50 cal.
ball did a perfect job, in one side out the other.
He took 3 or 4 steps and piled up. Slipped right up on 5 or 6 Deer feeding, not more than 25 or 30 yds. from them and while watching them this buck walks out of a thicket right in front of me, maybe 30 yds. BOOM!,I don't remember even looking at the sights, he was so close. Then the work begins, I was about a mile from my truck so I had to cut him up to get him out. I 've still got to cut and wrap him today.

Nice :thumbsup: , after all that work it might not be a good time to "weigh in" at the squirrel vs deer post. Nice shooting, aimed or not.

Congrats on that fine buck.
My season doesn't start here in Oklahoma until the last week of Oct. Getting all my gear and camping stuff ready.
Hope I do as good as you did. We have a two doe and 1 buck limit in this 9 day season. Told the wife she may not se me for 9 or 10 days. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing the picture and the story,this is better than watching hunting vidios on the boobtube. Think back you must have aimed the rifle to make that perfect shot,LOL. Congrads.

Thanks guys, it's really neat when a hunt comes together just the way you planned it. It's all cut and wrapped and in the freezer now and I've almost recovered from packing it out. Elk season starts Sat.
