Great buck, long brows for a muley.

My son's first deer. First pic, you can barely see it laying in the background. My son had just walked up and first saw it down. Second pic is just a couple minutes after finding it.

2022 MT Bull

Midday trekking turned up a group of nine. I thought he was a better buck but okay. Extremely fat. They have been in the grain fields every night.
Not a long shot (70 yards) but difficult in 26 mph wind offhand.
Dropped in his tracks.

I want to hear about the buck in his avatar.
Is that a droptine coming off his right base?

It wasn’t terrible. I took the two hinds off and gutted it. That made it light enough for me to flip it over and grab some pics. Just cropped them so you couldn’t see the missing back.

In case curious...

I couldn't see them after coming back from the 1.5 mi hidden stalking route I took, but it turned out that they were unseen because of a very subtle downward curve of the hill. Almost got busted as all of a sudden I spotted them at about 300+ yds.

Crawled to 250 yards and took advantage of the curve in the hill to sit up with trekking poles crossed for shooting sticks. Could just see the grass and tops of their ears through the scope, so needed to wait until they fed into view. Honestly, after being on elk about 12 of 14 days without any meat in the freezer, I was ready to shoot the first buck that came into my scope. Got lucky here as he's a beauty.

One shot and the small group trotted off another 50 yards, where I see a buck that looked mighty big with them. Didn't see any wounded or any fall so was unsure whether to take a shot at the real big one. Saw them looking back to where they were before, so figured maybe there was a friend of their's down. Sure enough, it dropped right there.

Braised up the stew pieces last week (instead of making ground) with rosemary, carrots and red onions and was super tasty.
