What a stud mulie! Congratulations, once again hardwork and persistence pays off! My guide and I were desperate and really down in the dumps yesterday. We had covered so much area and strained our eyes so long glassing. Bad part is that we knew there should have been some awesome bucks after such a wet year, and we just hadn't seen them. Other hunters in camp had been seeing some really good 170's but were passing them to get one like mine, while I would have been more than happy with a 170. Incredible string of events, just before we jumped this deer, within 100 yards of him, we stopped to let my guide shoot a yote. He couldn't find him in his scope. Thank God!

 Congrats on a great buck. Nothing better than behind glass hunting Mule Deer.

What a buck, great story too. Really happy for you!
We kept it as a pet for several months until it got run over by a truck. Then we ate him.

Nice buck!
That's what dreams are made of right there

Thanks again guys. I'm pretty stove up and have shaken baby syndrome as well. My guide is an old friend who is older than me and in better shape as well. Tortured me with walking/trotting to the next ridge countless times (and after 4 days I was believing I'd somehow pissed him off).
Burned several tanks thru his polaris that he babies, which means we walked a lotta places I thought his polaris should go.
Another tidbit. I always take a flask of makers for post hunt celebration. I had gotten so down I didn't load it up for that last hunt. My guide had been using mine the first 3 days on the way in. When we killed the deer he pulled out his own flask of crown he packed for the first time.

That buck deserves a nice single malt or some Pappy Van Winkle.
I'm learning with each passing year that it takes a little while to heal up after a hunt like that. Feel better soon.
