Montana Bucks 05

mulie03 · Nov 12, 2005

I shot this fat pig on the run, he was headed for the hills and wasn't stopping. i had to quickly guess him at about 300 yds when i pulled the trigger, so when he turned and started running straight away i held over using my 1st mil dot (which is 300yds for my 155 Amax's) my first shot connected and put him down. The bullet entered the left ham, broke the femur bone and part of the bullet continued on and ended up resting near the heart. i later ranged the shot at 320yds, not long range by any means but still a hell of moving shot considering he was with about ten other bucks and it all happened in less than 20 seconds.

My step-brother ended up getting the muley i was after and had seen the day before but i never could find him opening morning. here it is

mine grossed 164 and his 169

Congrats on two really nice bucks. Looks like Montana's back in the running for some real trophy animals. Way to go!

Very nice, good job on two relly nice bucks. I think you ended up with not to bad of a consolation prize for not getting the buck you had your eyes on first.

My buck weighed 290lbs on the hoof.
Yeah the other buck was 26.5 outside spread, mine was 23 inches wide.
We were hunting on my Uncle's ranch north of Broadus.
I consider myself very lucky to have family with lots of land to hunt. Next step become a resident again so i don't have to pay $350 for a tag.

Real nice Bucks, congrats to the both of you. Where are you living now since you said you want to move back to MT?
Thanks for posting the pictures.
