Went on our annual out of state mule deer hunt on a leftover tag. Wasn’t sure what to expect as it had been very warm and dry leading up to the hunt. Had our fingers crossed that they weren’t going to close down this particular forest due to all the fires breaking out throughout the state. About a week before season, the extended weather forecast was looking promising with 20+ inches of snow expected in the high country. A couple days into the hunt we had plenty of snow and great hunting conditions. With the deer moving to lower elevation in a hurry, we found an area they were using pretty heavily. Thanks to the cold conditions, I was able to tag this buck as he was trailing some does. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/11/full-4806-263758-8eeb0f0c_3113_4cdd_ba01_a8065c643936.jpeg)

Nice looking buck. Congrats.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

Great deer. I fly out Monday for Montana on my 1st Mule deer hunt. Would be tickled with something similar to yours.

Thanks guys! The highlight of the hunt was getting my 12 year old nephew his first mule deer. He’s been looking forward to being able to hunt with us out of state. The last few years he’s been lucky and has taken a handful of whitetails.

Great pics, ridn9high....I just got a text and pic from Scott Dewitt, (Sappertitan) he shot a monster Mule deer on the Pitchfork this morning.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.
