Solo backpack hunt and he died in a terrible place so no hero shots on this one. My best mulie

You'll get the occasional NV deer that makes a trip into CA in that part of the state. Dude I know guided on that trip, he said it came in at 190 5/8"

Yep. Of course it’s not officially scored yet but that’s about right. It has two cheaters on one side and one on the other so technically it’s a 6x5. We took it to Ojai Taxidermy yesterday and that’s what he figured it would score. Chuck is usually right.

Nice buck, Sounds like a good story. He died in a terrible place? You mean like down a deep heavy brush canyon or in cactus? What’s the scoop?

He tumbled like a mountain goat, broke his face up a little and came to rest in a drainage wedged between a log and a rock in thick briar patch that was steep enough to be hard to stand. Two trips out of there

This beauty is a personal best for me, and left me ecstatic!! Awesome memories made on this one. My little brother and I camped on a bachelor group of small bucks the night before opener. All I wanted was meat in my freezer after 2 unsuccessful out of state elk hunts. While making a move on a forky, I bumped into this guy. Still can't believe it.

Great buck, nice work!

Yea, you’re right. That sounds like a horrible place for him to end up. Those kind of places are a pain in the butt at the time but they do make a good story later

Oldest buck I've shot. Sent the incisor into the lab and they aged him at 8 1/2 years old. Had pictures of him from the year before and he was quite a bit bigger the year before.

Texas 2008.

New Mexico 2009.

First 2 had pretty poor field photos, but I really like this one I got with my son back at the house.

New Mexico 2010.

New Mexico 2011. (about 99% sure that was his shed that I found earlier that morning)

how old was he ?

Scratched one out in SoCal D13 with a week left to go. Couldn't be happier. 85 yard shot while he chased a doe around a bit.
