Great story. Congrats! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Muleyslayer52, I just wanted to thank you for allowing us to experience your journey with this buck. It has been probably my favorite story on this site and am always looking forward to new info. regarding your buck. I have enjoyed the pics and videos and was heartbroken for you last year...

Beautiful bucks, thanks for sharing!

Been watching parts of this unit for my whole life. This tag 7-8 years ago would produce great bulls. Lately it has been struggling. I drew my tag in 2013, one of the worst years in my opinion. Saw a ton of moose, just lots of young bulls. Probably should have turned my tag back in. That being...

As I sit here waiting in limbo for the seasons to start I find myself combing over all the you tube videos. This one blows my mind. I'm sure many, if not most of you, have seen this Mossback video. So the lady ends up shooting the 441" non-typical bull. Lets say you were the hunter, could you...

Watched a buck just like this one on the winter range for like six years in a row. He would come into winter with little spikes like the one on this deer's left side but they would always break off by mid winter. It was like they were brittle. He would always be left with knarly velvety clumps...

Thanks for the input guys! And thanks for sharing the pics of your mounts, I thought every one was awesome and it gets me excited to get mine finished. As for those wondering how heavy that pack was, I bet it was well over one hundred pounds, I only had to pack it a half mile and I didn't want...

In 2013 I had the privilege of hunting and killing a moose. Even though the unit was down that year, it was a blast. I learned a lot about hunting moose and wish I had another shot at it with the knowledge I gained. I hunted 16 total days and shot this bull on the second to last night of the...

Thanks for your input guys, last year I had a dissonance going on with my bullet and powder choice; the inaccuracy of it made me question everything else I was doing so I thought I would ask a few questions. Last year I shot the powerbelt 245 gr. with 2 triple seven 50 gr. pellets. Never felt...

I have been muzzleloader hunting for a few years now but never really had a guru to bounce questions off of. I have an early in-line Knight model, really basic with a black synthetic stalk. Every time I get done shooting this gun I take it fully apart because its hard to get the breach plug...

Ah, The old divide and conquer argument. Never was on board with that argument! That aside, I have a theory regarding countries worldwide that, at least in my mind, seems to be holding true the more I look into it. That is that as countries get older they inevitably fall victim to certain...

To have any kind of chance you will have to find a way to sneak in, gather a bunch illegally, then gps your stash. Don't foret to hide it real good so no one else finds it.

I really enjoyed the video. Nice camera work. I always wish I would take the time to do some quality filming on my hunts but I never do. That being said it would probably never turn out like yours did, that takes some skill. And congrats on the nice buck for your wife.

I had a muzzleloader tag this year. I used camo, scent eliminator, blinds, wind checkers and a brain that has way more computing power than his, And yet I still got beat a couple times by a wise old buck and his senses. Even though I worked my tail off and came out empty handed, it's a "hunt"...

I almost always hear it, except this year when my buddy hit his deer at 50 yards. Never heard it, but the deer died almost instantly.
