Let him go

[JCS]

Here is a picture of a muley that I let go this year. I saw around a half of dozen of this size bucks. I just couldn't pull the trigger. Some might call me crazy but I have several racks this size in my garage. Just looking for that special one.



I rattled this one in to about 20 yards.

If you would teach me how to rattle them in, I would shoot the pesky ones like him. My shop is not full of mule deer racks of that size, so I need about a half dozen for decor.

Cool pic.

Wow, self control! Dandy muley; kudos for being around so many this season

Great buck, but I don't blame you. I'd get kicked out of the "frat" if most knew what bucks I passed this year.

You have to be happy with what you shoot or don't. Nobody else!

BF Play the cards right and you may get one of those "Two Yard Shots" again.

Great pic - ridiculous post. >>>It is my opinion that you and Oak and host of others (Dink, Greenhorn, BambiStew, this list is long and distinguished like my Johnson) are unreal --- just ho humming on animals like this. I am just jealous.
Anyway, question came up for me this season (as watched, glassed, watched more and hung around does waiting for bucks). Rattling muley's works, but do you ever use or have you heard of scents for these guys?

I have neither the prior success or the self control to have passed him up. That is a really cool picture!

You dont want me to teach you to rattle for muleys. Only about 1 in 10 come to me, the rest run away so fast I dont think they stop until they hit the North Dakota border

I feel the same about whietails. You just gotta likem to shootem. & enjoy the hunt.

good luck to all
the dog

If they are running east into ND just keep on rattlin'...Nice Deer!

Thats a fantastic photo and great buck. Not to mention your self control. Someday I might be able to pass on the better than average and hold out for THE one.

Good for you, hope you get the one you want.

 

[Breaks Runner]

Tip of the hat to you! That's the way you end up with larger ones.

I definitely do not have that sort of self-control... I would have shot at him in a heartbeat.
