Your Move, Episode #3

That buck has great potential, let him live atleast 2more years.

That buck has great potential, let him live atleast 2more years.

He also has great potential to be a tasty meal.  I have never killed a mule deer buck so I would take him.

If it was an average whitey with good potential, I could let him walk.

[jrebel]

I would let the air out of him.  Taking a frontal shot only if he is under 30 yards.....so I would come to full draw and let him get as close as possible.  I am deadly accurate at those ranges....and I love his character, even though he is not a masher.  Beings I can buy another deer tag....he gets put in the freezer and on the wall.

Beings that he is ever so slightly turned I will put it just left of center, bottom 3rd.  I will probably watch him drop.

That buck lives to see another day

[D-Rock425]

I'd take this shot.

[Rainier10]

I am going with D-Rock's shot placement.  A buck on the ground is better than a bull in the brush.  This deer is dead and at camp in a few hours and I am back to elk hunting.

[Russ McDonald]

Been in elk every day and that sounds like his bedroom that he is bugling from.  I would let him come a little more and see if he will give me a broadside shot it not I would put an arrow exactly where everyone else has pictured.  I would go after the bull tomorrow.  I always say you can't eat horns.  I would never pass on a good opportunity.

This must be an awesome rut by the way, with 6" of snow on the ground.

didn't think of that

[h20hunter]

I'd stick him right where D-Rock pointed. Shot a muley doe a few years agon on a meat hunt. About 12 steps, same spot. Center punched the heart and the arrow came out opposite side just behind the last rib. She hopped 8 times and fell over. For me that is an up close shot only. Past 20 or so yards I'd pass.

Used to happen more often years ago in NW MT/N ID but not so much anymore.  I remember several late September hunts with a lot of snow above 5K.  It ruled to put it mildly
