This is a pic of my buck that i shot at 25 yards. He is a little over 26 wide and he is a 6x5. I shot him the first morning of my CO trip. I have not scored him but I think he is in the 170s somewhere. This is my second best archery buck of my life.
This is the buck my budy Jeff took. He is a real tall good 4 point. He was 24 wide and had good mass. He missed a couple of monsters so this buck was almost bitter sweet. He killed his buck at 30 yards.
This is a pic of my buddy Joe.(Jeffs brother) He shot this really nice 4 point on the last day we were hunting. He missed a really big buck that day that was close to 30 inches but still came home with a real good buck. This was his first archery mule deer too! Way to go Joe. His shot was 24 yards. He had to wait a long time for him to stand out of his bed and he made it count.
This is my buddy Matt walking back to the truck with Joes buck. We had to frame pack out 2 out of the 3 bucks killed. Joes buck died in some very nasty steep country but with enough guys it was not to bad.
Here is all the bucks lined up after the hunt. Matt did not fill but it was not for lack of effort. He passed on some big deer and had some horrible luck with arrow flight. Thats another story all in itself. This was a great hunt with great buds and such a great time i want to go back right now. We had such close calls with huge bucks just could not seal the deal. I guess that is why they call it hunting and not killing. Please no bad post just trying to share in our fun and hope U guys in MM land are having a good time with your hunts too!
