This buck was taken last Monday (November 24th) at a buddy's place in Muleshoe, Texas. This was my first Mule Deer so I was pretty pleased with him. I spotted him on a sand hill about 650 yards away. Got within 260 yards of him, steadied my shot and dropped him. I was shooting my Savage 30-06 with 165 grain Hornady Superformance SST bullets. Anyway, I thought I'd share a success story! Thanks.

That's awesome. I live in Clovis and have been trying to find somewhere in W TX where a ranch will allow me to hunt for Muleys...no luck so far. Congrats on your first Muley, hunting them in the sandhills is addicting.

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
