My 2008 Muley
« on: October 19, 2008, 05:41:29 PM »
Hey There,
Just recently found this site and have enjoyed it immensly.  Congrats to all the successful hunters this year and to those that enjoyed good times afield with family and friends. 
Well I just returned a few days ago from my trip and figured I better post it up.  I packed in for seven days of hunting in the high country and enjoyed a great and successful trip.  Other than those in my group I did not see any other hunters until coming out of hills on Thursday.  I scouted the day before the opener and glassed five good bucks and felt real good about the week ahead.  Opening morning I passed on a few deer and shot my buck at about 90 yards in his bed.  He is not the biggest buck I've taken but I'm super happy with him.  Had him quartered up and back in camp by 2pm.  Stayed in the high country and scouted around and helped my buddy take and pack his deer.  The last day I was out glassing and saw two very impressive deer that I'll be looking for next year.  I had gone quite a few years without taking a critter due to not hunting so it felt real nice to get that big buck fever again.  Something I hope I never get over.

Nice!  Even though you took a break from hunting it looks like your kept your edge and put together a great hunt.  Nicely done!  Welcome, and don't hesitate to post some more pics of your other hunts.
