I too must hang my head in shame and admit to hunting mule deer while wearing 100% cotton jeans.
My excuse would be that I was poking around new country and only left the rig to glass from the ridge above the road, then the next ridge and so on....sad day indeed, when I realized that I didn't even have a pocket knife in them there cotton jeans!
Montana early 90's, public land and general tag.

Half Ace - awesome deer!!
@buffybr @Greenhorn thanks guys. You made my day.
The thing about the pants was pretty simple; one extra deer tag, or a new pair of pants. I take the tag every time.
@Oak @SnowyMountaineer @huntin24/7 you guys are studs.

Additional, more recent, pics.
All these are general tag, public land Montana bucks.
Friend's fall wedding forced me to "clean up" some. Idiot, who in their right mind gets married during the fall hunting season?
This one would be a good candidate for MT HD 270's newly proposed 3-point tag!
As he lay....
Cold day to be on top chasing muleys....setting the camera on top of my pack has it's flaws, lower left corner of pic.
My longest shot to date, 200yds give or take....
Just to show that I haven't changed and I am not addicted to "Horn Porn".....one of the best stalks of my life! Spent the fall hunting with my wife as she wanted to shoot a "Good" muley, bigger than anything that she had previously tagged. Wife's hunt ended with a heart breaker as another hunter tagged the buck that she was after and she never recovered during the remainder of the season.
2019, Wife was successful in completing her mule deer goal from the previous year as I struggled with a vision problem. Freed me up to spend the last week or so in the high country of NW MT, sporting my newly needed black framed glasses. **Note** Hunting while wearing glasses SUCKS!!
1st MT December muley, tripped the trigger at last light of the last day. He then rolled and slid down the mountain 6-800yds.
When he finally stopped....as he lay.
Yes, I love all the habitats that mule deer call home. I'm especially fond of chasing them in the high country but with the greying of my beard, those places are getting harder to reach.

@Greenhorn it would have probably been quicker to just post a link to the "Big Ones" thread. 
Which is still my all time favorite, but this is pretty dang good too. The ones one the hoof get my blood pumping.
