This was the buck I took fall before the massive winter kill. It was a buck I had watched for 4 years. The first year I saw him he was a 19” basket 4x4. The last 2 he was identical each year.
I just got him home from the taxi and my 14 year old and I talk. Given the current deer issues, populations, predators, range and habitat issues etc. could this be the last mule deer for me? I am at a point where unless there is some amazing story/relationship with a buck. It has to be my biggest or bust.
How many people are at that point? At what stage do you suspect you will call it good? I love the mount. It turned out pretty good.
I actually hunt harder today than I did in the past. But I just feel like a diminishing resource is something that eventually we all will not overcome…
He is the bottom left. All 3 are wy general tags.
