First Smokepole Buck

Nebtex · Jan 1, 2016

After hunting my season choice landowner tag with a bow and rifle, I assumed the year of hunting was over. Little did I know, my wife would buy me an inline muzzleloader for Christmas. So there I was with six days to hunt. After missing this buck on the 29th, I returned to find him in the same place with the same bucks he was with, I sealed my revenge at 177 yards. Now I am stuck with deciding whether to mount him, or European him. I havnt scored him but would guess 170s, what do you readers think?

Good buck and welcome to the site, nice first post. I assume probably a Nebraska deer from your screen name. I live in the Sandhills Of Ne.and killed a small buck with a muzzy as well this year. I've hunted the muzzy as long as they've had it I think over 25 years.

Nebtex I live 40 miles north of North Platte, congratulations a 182 mule deer in Nebraska is noteworthy as you know Nebraska manages for quantity not quality.

Correction on score. I accidentally doubled the spread credit. He's only a 170. Cornhusker, this Buck is hanging in my shop six miles south of Thedford. U must be from Stapleton
