I was able to finally able to seal the deal on this awesome mature buck up somewhere on the wasatch front. I had a very hard time even finding mature deer on this hunt and I had spent a couple days not being able to find really any mature bucks that I’d be happy to hang my tag on. I was looking on google earth and the hunt boundaries and found a spot that looked pretty good and after hunting all afternoon I found this buck feeding in a basin below me (Only deer I saw all day) and it didn’t take very long for me to decide and then buck fever kicked in, I got to where I thought I was on top of him and he was nowhere to be found after looking around for a bit I noticed that he was actually sitting on the skyline looking at me, I took a 269 yard shot and the rest is history, my dads 50 cal savage 10 ml 2 incapacitated him pretty quickly. I killed right at last legal shooting light and had a rough night hauling back 4 miles to the truck, I couldn’t be happier with this buck at my age, he’s not too big to where I’m spoiled and he’s not too small to where I’m disappointed. Now I have to focus on filling my elk tag then I’ll be off to Colorado to hunt Muleys again!
