Mule deer taste like sage brush.
Does anyone else look back and realize just how good the 20-teens were across the West for mule deer as compared to the last 4-5 years?I wonder if the 20-teens will end up being the heyday of my hunting career…?

I definitely kick myself for losing opportunities on big bucks for my lack of experience. Oh well, as you stated I hope that’s not the last heyday.Keep up the strong work on your goals!
It was a joke you city slickers.Kind of.

Some areas we hunted back then have maintained fairly well, other areas not so much. Been debated numerous times on this forum what the overall cause of the downturn in numbers is, and there is no one answer. The 20 teens will probably be your " good old days" but not necessarily only because of the deer numbers. They are the days when you were younger, could hunt harder and longer and usually with friends and family. You get older and that zeal to hunt hard is still there, but your body says whoa. Many of those friends and family have quit hunting,or worse, passed on. I miss the old days, partially because we saw and shot a lot deer, but mostly the places I saw and the people I saw them with. I still get out every year, still enjoy it but it ain't the good old days. Make the most of yours while you can.
Buck I saw posted on fb . A giant and a once in a lifetime buck for anyone.
