Saw a nice bull yesterday as I was flying down the highway through Littlefoots neck of the woods. He already had about 30 cows with him. He was quite uncooperative waiting for me to dig my camera out of my backpack and switch lens'.

That's a quality Muley.

Will you hunt him, and if so, with what weapon? The last few years I have been chasing the mule deer around with my bow, but this season will be my wife's first, so I was planning on setting up the ground blind in whitetail country. This makes me have second thoughts...

Saw this bull in Yellowstone

If I had an archery tag there would be a slight possibility. Pretty sure he's hangin out on private land and I'm not the only dude who's seen him. I bet someone sticks him this year. Seems like a killer year for antler growth. I have a late Entiat modern tag and a late muzz deer tag for Oregon good for the end of October. Seeing bucks like that guy get me even more excited for my late hunts!

Muleysniper,
That is a phenomenal buck! Wow, wow, wow! The best I've seen in a long time.

Spotted this guy one night in a field while over at our property in Lincoln last week. Anyone know what's wrong with the doe, her eye ball come out or something?

Congrats Sniper, great picture, you won with some stiff competition too.

MuleySniper · « **Reply #47 on:** September 03, 2010, 07:27:00 PM »

Thanks! Bummer for the piece of trash between the big bucks legs. I'm sure someone with some PS skills could edit it out.
