Thanks!!!!  I wish I could share a lot more of the photos I took to happily show you the whole scene, but I am sure you guys can understand why I want to keep this one to myself a coupel years.  After hauling him out though and burning all my clothes so I didn't have to carry them out, lol, yep this one was a tough one.  My knees and feet may never work again.  it didn't help that it was so freakin warm.  I don't think I have ever sweated so much.  I am still thirsty. :)
I know he won't win any scoring competetions and I am sure he won't take the trophy home this year, but I am excited about him.  Something about a massive muley that just fires up the ole heart.  I was very thankful he was out of velvet.

I'm with you Doug.  My favorite traits for a muley are mass and width.

That's a great buck in any book and one to be very proud of, especially in steep open country with a longbow and two focused arrows.  He's a stand-alone buck for sure.

Incredible.  The terrain looks unreal.  Its not the rack that counts, its the hunt to get that rack that proveds the best memories!

Congrats  :brew:

So what you end up packing to eat on the trip? 10 hours in and steep country had to require some serious energy
