First season WA (the infamous "High Buck Hunt"). I've been hunting this spot for 5 years and was STOKED to finally get an animal, much less such a great one. This was along the crest of the central Cascades where muley and blacktail genetics are pretty well mixed, so this is a super nice deer for the area.

My son and I both took Washington mule deer bucks during the past few days:
He took this young 2x3 after stalking it to 137 yards. Used a 1970's 6mm Remington 700 BDL, with handloaded 95 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets. I was right there with him, and it was terrific to watch him carefully close the distance then take his buck.
A day later I took this 3x3 at 350 yards with my 30-06 Remington 700 CDL and a 6x scope. I'd handloaded 180 grain Berger "Elite Hunter" bullets for this hunt.
It was a mighty fine hunt with my son.

Thank you so much! One of the best hunting photos I've been associated with. Mother nature sure made this one a beauty. Not many days this calm and sunny in the fall on Kodiak Island. It was postcard perfect weather for the first two days.

First thing I thought was that you should get that photo framed. It is fantastic.

That's a cool one, love the double brows and the dark V down his nose.

Howdy. Dang. Ya'll are making me hungry for some backstrap steaks and I have a meat crisis here. It's a couple of weeks before S.TX whitetail rifle season opens. I'll probably miss the opener, but a week later I will be hunting over some harvested peanut fields looking for Mr. Muy Grande down here.

Thank you. I have! Couldn’t resist!
Thanks! I have looked at a lot of bucks since then and haven't seen another with the stripe down his face. I'm sure there are more out there, but it is super unique.

Which Ruger is that? Kinda looks like a big cartridge, which makes sense where you're hunting.

That's probably one of the prettiest mule deer bucks I've ever seen. I hope you mount it!
I work with a great taxidermist, he basically told me I don't get a choice!
