Here's my 2018 Mule deer hunt

[huntbow]

This was a Washington DIY OTC public land backpack hunt.
 Instead of writing it all out i'll just attach a link to the video.  I typically hunt archery but because of the 2018 season dates i ended up getting a rifle tag.
   Its about 20 min long, Hope you enjoy

   But dang man..canned food. Last time I packed canned food into a hunt was like in the mid 90's.

Thanks pianoman.  Fishngamereaper, canned food wouldn't have been my first choice either .  However, from the time i left the truck till the time i got back i never crossed any water sources.  Instead of carrying water in for my mt. house i just decided to bring the cans that already had the water mixed in.
  Next time i think I'll look for a place with water close by.   It does make me wonder where the deer were finding their water unless they were just getting enough from the morning dew

Geez, 101 pounds going in? That’s where I draw the line lol. You’re a tougher man than I sir. Nice buck. How much did the pack weigh coming out?

Im not sure how much it weighed coming out exactly.  The 3 gallons of water, 8 cans of ravioli, a few snacks, potatoes and all but one Gatorade bottle were empty. 
  I do know when i got home i weighed the deboned meat and it was dead on 65 lbs

That is an impressive hike. I've come out at 100 lbs but never gone in at that weight. Taking water is the worst. There is a ridge I want to camp on and glass from but no water and I don't want to hump it up there.

Nice buck, and great video
