Was fortuante to be invited by a friend to hunt a 26,000 acre ranch out north of Marathon. Beautiful country and found a very nice buck on the second full day of hunting. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/12/full-56041-439628-muley.jpg)

That morning the rig was very cool...it was 28 degrees that morning with a windchill of 21....that didn't include what it was when we were driving 25-35mph! We were bundled up for sure.

Tell us about the rig. Friend has one looks just like it. I think he said an individual custom makes them….?
The muley is awesome. Like to see more pics.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

that wasn't the blue diamond ranch by chance was it?
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Heckuva friend and a beautiful buck.  We had a shop-built rig when I was a kid, but it was way less cool than that. 'Looks like a VW chassis/engine also.
