Got home a few days ago from a great, public land, DIY hunt. We looked over a lot of smaller bucks throughout the week and saw a few nice ones. My brother put long stalks on 2 different bucks during the hunt, just wasn't able to connect before they got into the thick timber. On Tuesday, I was able to make a long stalk and cut this big buck off before he moved into a very thick hillside full of scrub oaks. One 240 yard shot with the 308 ended my hunt. This buck had zero ground shrinkage when I walked up on him.



A couple bucks we passed during the week

beautiful deer and sounds like an awesome hunt. impressive that y'all did that all on your own and didn't have to depend on a local guide to put you on deer, as you seem to have seen plenty of mulies ... you earned that trophy, and he's a great mule deer cheers

Thanks guys! up we are already making plans for our hunt next year. We usually go every other year, but might do every year since we gave up our deer lease here in Oklahoma.

If anyone has a spare mule deer cape they're willing part with, send me a PM. My cape was ruined
