Desert Mule Deer

Desert Mule Deer - 01/08/17 05:27 PM

We are on our way home from an amazing week in West Texas. The experience far exceeded our expectations. My FIL and BIL shot very nice trophies. I passed several shooters and missed the opportunity to shoot another because i walked away from my rifle to glass a canyon. My first and best opportunity came during the very first hour of hunting and I just couldn't make myself shoot that early. I wanted to hunt. With 5 minutes of shooting light left on the last evening I opted to take a nice management 4x4. The deer were in full rut. Awesome ranch, great outfitting operation.

Nice bucks. Just don't hear much about MLD ranches in regard to mule deer or I don't. That is about the only way you can hunt Texas mule deer in the rut. Looks like ya'll hit a home run.

While they are not as common in far West Texas, there are several Big acreage ranches in that area that are MLD.

Maybe the coolest part of the trip...on over 100k acres i just happened to drive up on my BIL right after his kill. Great moment!

Passed a few real good ones and still got a hell of a management buck, I'd say it was a darn good Hunt!! Not to mention the whole experience! up
