Deer - lets see em

View attachment 32611

My wifes grandpa shot this deer. 37 inside, I'm ruined for life looking at this thing each day and then seeing a "modern" montana trophy of 25 wide and a score of 165-170. Mule deer in Montana have suffered greatly the last 10 years. Sure there are a few every year that are great but the number of them is getting smaller each year.

Good luck on your up coming hunt. I'll be curious to see what size you'll be able to drum up around here.
Looks like a Wyoming Greys River buck? Nice

Last year's buck. North central Montana. Nice enough but no whopper. Very large body. I mostly spend my time bird hunting but usually take a couple of days to hunt deer with my brother.
One shot from my 30-06 dropped him in his tracks on the run at 65 yards. I shoot a lot of skeet and clays. It helps.16 November 2019.JPG

Got this guy Thursday morning, 9/24. Broke my leg in may, had a few surgeries in June. Didnt think I was going to make it up to Montana from NM to hunt. Was mainly chasing elk. Got to about 90 yards one day before a cow busted us and barked. Called the bull back a few times but never got a shot. This guy snuck in behind us. Heard him and finally got a shot at 56 yards. SW Montana was too much fun. And yeah I was climbing mountains with a boot and crutches. Nothing was going to stop me from going on this hunt. Resized_20200924_084331.jpeg
