You must have used a mirror to take that picture. The bolt is on the wrong side of that cool gun. I love that country out there. Could sit right on that spot and not move all day. Bolt looks fine to me, all of my bolts are on that side of the rifles. Nice rig

You'd prob have the best luck just driving around and hoping to jump one. That is about right, I have hunted that way several times just outside of Dryden in Terrell county.

Mule deer hunting has a steep learning curve if you aren't with someone who knows how to hunt them
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I'll rephrase. The landowner friends have explained, drawn maps, advised of techniques, all the help they can give. Not going out with us. No deer today. 2 Javelenas at 510 yards.

Now, that's is an awesome view! No doubt. Great view, for sure.

Now what to do with the to rodents you shot? If they have cutters on them good looking euro mounts...varmints take care of rest. I love south west Texas!

Coyote bait and imma choot them too!
None of us are seeing big Mulie bucks just spikes and four pointers. We've bout decided to give up on the bucks midday today and reduce the coyote population significantly. I also brought the 6.5 Creedmoor, suppressor and a FoxPro.
