LAST EDITED ON Oct-07-18 AT 05:57PM (MST)[p]I was able to harvest my second and biggest Mule deer buck this year with my bow! On opening day I almost had a shot at a big 4x4 but I blew the stalk and I never had a second chance at him. About 3 weeks into season on September 12 I found this buck. I spotted him with 4 of his buddy?s and ended up watching them for a few hours before they finally went off to bed. They didn't bed in a good place to try to stalk them so I went back home and brought my brother back with me for the afternoon hunt. We hiked into around 700yds above where they had bedded that morning and they were just getting up to feed when we got there. They moved about 5-600yds and bedded again. This time they were in a place we could try to put a stalk on them. We got to within 60-70yds and caught a glimpse of antler from the smallest of the 5 bucks through the brush. We eased down behind a boulder and waited for a few minutes before he appeared at about 40yds right in front of us. We watched him for a few minutes before the big buck suddenly appeared and started feeding. Slowly the other bucks started appearing and one of them came straight for us but luckily stopped at around 20yds. It didn't look like I was going to be able to wait for a broadside shot so when the big buck moved his head out of the way I was able to take a frontal shot at 38yds. This is my first velvet buck and biggest Mule deer gross scoring 190 2/8 and I was fortunate enough to have my brother along and get it on video!!! http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos_2018/97153a9d7f5fce09947e3b7300f898db5406e.jpeg
