My good friend Matt Bateman snuck into an aspen patch one morning in September and put an arrow into a nice muley. Here's a portion of the blood trail.....

While caping out Matts buck, the deer antler stuck into my forearm and gave me a nasty gash....

Hiking and scouting with my daughter Avery by my side. She got into some pretty steep country with me this summer. She is awesome and she is fearless!!!

My friend Matt also drew a Utah LE Elk Tag. He hunted real hard and finally put this 350" bull down on the second to last day of the hunt.

Went out to Illinois to hunt whiteys. I was fortunate to put down this great 10 point

Came home from Illinois and started hunting Utah again. Couldn't connect on a big muley and was running out of time. This buck came into bow-range and I was able to put him down from 50 yds.

Lucky,
You're supposed to wait until the deer is dead before you cape it! ha
Excellent report and fine season.
Well done,
Zeke
