October 29 called into 25 yards with some doe bleats in the timber!
Wish I’d gotten better pics but thrilled to get this buck!

Congratulations on a nice buck. It’s a cool experience when you call them in like that.

Very cool. Looks old with that white around the eyes. What kind of call? was it just a can?

2023 deer. Let’s see um!

Thanks fellas, it’s my second one I’ve called in and is the only time buck fever really gets me shaking! First one I ever called in was with a can, this guy I was using a grunt tube set between the doe and estrus bleat settings

I’m not sure he’s a very old buck but rather just phenomenal genes, his body and hooves weren’t as large as you’d expect on a mature/old buck but I hadn’t even thought about how grey his eyes are, does make him look old! I could also possibly be not calibrated after only hunting mule deer the last 7 years and having helped my dad pack out a 340 pounder earlier this season

Agreed.  Anybody who only shows half the deer gets a suspension for sure.

That wasn't there earlier...  :dunno:    :chuckle:

That doesn't look like the same deer. But now I see that it is just a different angle and looks different. I'll take a self imposed ban for 8 or so hrs...  :chuckle:

Thanks for saving me from a ban mountainarcher didn’t have much time last night to be on here the picture angles do make it hard to tell it’s the same buck, I’ll post some good ones of the euro when it’s done appreciate the positive feedback! After tag soup the last few years with minimal time to hunt I’m thrilled
