Great buck, glad it all came together for you!  IMHO the experience is worth more than anything else and as long as you are happy that is all that matters.  I love that mass though!

Here is a shot showing the amazing scenery and a little more of a straight on look. You can also tell how big the bases are. I can’t get my hand around them.

Hell yeah! No way I’m passing that buck!

Really cool how everything and everyone came together with you on this. That buck is awesome and I like that he has eye guards as well. Some don't care for guards on mule deer but I think they're great. Thanks for making this thread!

I showed this pic to my daughter last night. First thing she said was how pretty it was there. Next thing she asked was when we could go over there and look for deer.

Congrats buddy. I'm super happy for you. You did the tag justice, found the path and killed a great old buck.

Sitting up here waiting for the snow to let up & fog to clear reading Ranier’s story. I must be uglier than I thought because he didn’t include a pic of us both with his buck! :chuckle:

I’ll just add what an enjoyable day that was teaming up yesterday & watching an archery guy absolutely flatten a big ol mule deer buck in his tracks from 300 yards. My way of repaying Rick for all the help getting familiar with the area & what to expect. Trust me members we had to ask Regis to use a phone a friend to walk away from this buck the first time. Good times with good dudes!

Now if the weather gods will cooperate we can continue the search for my buck! Got brief eyes on a deep forked buck yesterday while trying to get on Rick’s in the morning from 1000 yds away so we are in that neighborhood trying to dig him up when we can see. :bash:

First off, congrats on a great buck.  Second, congrats on your ability to hold out until you found the buck you wanted.  Third, it was great to see a Hunter Ed instructor pull this tag and follow your hunt all the way through day by day.  I am also a HE Instructor and put in for these tags every year. 

A word about the "score".  I think anyone who pays attention knows that score never tells the whole story of the rack.  It's a good benchmark, but it isn't the be-all/end-all.  That buck is probably one of the most impressive 160"-ish bucks I've seen.  It just looks a lot bigger than it scores.  I am predicting that most people walking into your living room and looking at that buck on the wall will guess him at over 170".

Congrats again on a FANTASTIC buck.  And thanks again for taking us all along for the ride.   :tup:
