Congrats...That is a good lookin buck...
Gotta luv that mass...
You need to take the photo from the road side so nobody knows your secrets..
Just Joking..
Nice buck ND,
I lived in Bottineau for a couple of years in the late 70's.
I whacked a really nice whitetail in the Turtle Mtns, spanked the geese and ducks.
Kinda miss it once in a while.

The story behind the buck. I spotted him at first light with one other smaller buck and 5 other does, I could tell he was a heavy horned deer and the side I saw was the 4 point side. So after 30 minutes of watching him thinking wether or not i should take him I decided to shoot. One shot through both lungs and he piled over. So it ended up being the second day of the season and I already had my buck. And as luck would have it I saw one that would have scored well over 180 BC that night. My Dad still had a tag to fill by this point so we went after him that Sunday morning, we didnt see the buck we wanted but my Dad ended up taking a 170-175 BC buck. Ill post pics of that one after I scan the pics.
PS I took the pic after we got him back to the truck.
You the man Muleybuster. I am looking forward to seeing more of your hunting pics and your dad's buck as well. Those other two bucks look good as well and the pictures and country are amazing.
Welcome aboard, but remember, Moosie has your soul at 20 posts.
As you can see there are some dense evergreen tree patches on the sides of the buttes, well thats where they tend to bed down during the day. But you can catch them bedded on open faced buttes and thats how we got my Dads big one. We caught him sunning himself on a cold morning. I bet he wished he never would have done that! |oo
But these big bastards out here sure know how to put the slip on yeah. Between swirling winds down in the bottom of the canyons and rocks falling while you try to scale the side of one of the many steep canyon walls it sure makes a challenging hunt but thata whyI love hunting muleys so damn much!
