OK Bone, for one thing, I am going to stop complaining that there are "no big muleys left", and I am going to start looking harder. Lots of bucks on this thread that are going to be bruisers next year.
This did seem to be a particularly good year for spotting good deer after the season. Either that or I am getting better at it. When we got that big snowstorm I was able to spot 2 good muleys in areas I have never seen them in before. The snow must have pushed them down. I also spotted a muley that probably went about 170. I think he was a deer that I saw about this time last year, but haven't seen him since. He is young, but real healthy. Not much mass, but very tall and about 27 wide. Private property though. Probably die of old age.
Another thing, I am going to start carrying a camera. I already carry binos and a spotting scope in my work rig, one more thing on the dashboard won't take up too much room.
LOVED the pics in this thread. THere is nothing in the world like having your kid reach a level where they start spotting game on their own. You know they are becoming a hunter. A predator. That's the difference between hikers and hunters. Hikers observe the environment. Hunters are part of it.
thanx for sharing...
