Northeast Montana Deer

270XBolt · Nov 22, 2010

Here are some from this year over in our little corner of Montana.

This is my Wife's Muley with a little extra on each top fork. She made a great shot on this one at first light. Beautiful dark antlers.

This is my Son's 1st Buck, not too bad for his first one. He got this one at 30 yds.

This is my buck, a 20" wide whitetail buck. Saw him chasing does in the afternoon. Tried to stalk on him, but he followed the does back into the trees. I waited it out and 1 hr later he followed the does back out into the field. One shot later he was down for the count. Should score around 150".

This is the one that got away and ended up as roadkill. Too bad as he looked to be a younger deer and could have been a real bruiser on years to come. (Photo taken in back of Sheriff's Pickup)

I know you hardcore muley chasers might not like these whitetail bucks on the Mule Deer forum, but I figured with the 2:2 ratio of mulies/whitetails you would let it slide ;-)

Thanks for the pix 270xBolt....nice deer, gotta love those smiles and it's nice to see a whole family in on the action.

On the contrary 270XBolt- I love seeing muley hunters that have opportunity to harvest white tails... One day I will hunt whitetail. I figure a trophy room is only validated by multiple species... Some great bucks you guys got this year...

I hope the sheriff reported that great mule deer...
