Thanks guys! It was a fantastic weekend of course. We got to see a friend and meet 2 new ones. Had a fish fry together, washed em down, and had beautiful weather although a little too warm. We saw a TON of hunters, even more than last year which was plenty busy also. Saturday we saw more hunters than deer. RJ, did you not draw a tag?? Dakota, we had similar results, saw a couple WT bucks chasing does, and the Muley bucks were just following a doe for a couple minutes, bump her once, and move on. Not much Mule deer rut yet. I dropped her back off at her apartment last night and left her with a huge cooler full of quarters, knives, grinder, etc., and she will process it all herself this week. (When she's not out catching walleyes each evening I think I have created a monster, hopefully she will keep her studies up as well !
Congrats on an awesome buck. I love those big old mature bucks. You put a 170", 3.5 year old 4 point and a 130" 7 year old 2 point in front of me and I'm shooting the 2 point every day. That is a special trophy.
Helluva a job dad, your parenting skills show, not to many ladies would take a cooler full of meat they just shot and process it.... outstanding and congrats on the great memories!
