Deer camp was set up in unit 101 and we were hunting some low public land.  The morning hunt was a bust as we got fogged in at one of my favorite look out spots and since there were so many other hunters I was hoping they would drive deer right to me.  After a few hours of nothing but fog and other hunters we went back to the camp for lunch. 

After lunch I went out early and hiked into a nice area and begin to still hunt.  I would take 10 paces and stop for 60 seconds take 5 steps stop again.  I spent more time looking around than moving.  After about 45 min I came atop a ridge with a valley below and this nice looking mule deer looking right up at me.  He stared at me for a few seconds and then got up and started to run.  I shot him right through the front shoulders as he was running!  After he fell, I grabbed the radio and said “BIG BUCK DOWN”!  my two buddies came and we got him back to the truck, took some victory shots (my other friend Jack Daniels helped us celebrate) and headed back to clean him up a bit.  You all should have seen the boys run to their trucks and back out hunting when I pulled up with this big boy!  Caught him napping in his bed opening day!  One of the best hunts I have ever been on.

GO COUGS!!!!

DAMN MuleySniper, Gongrats to the hunter on that one. Looks like he mated with a moose with the paddle he developed on the left side. There are some real monsters hitting the dirt this year, that one however may take the cake!  :tup:

This is only my third year hunting and I am always up for a challenge.  This year I told my husband I wanted to deer hunt on my own....spotting, shooting, gutting and packing...the whole nine yards.  It has been a great learning experience for me as I have made some mistakes and learned both my strengths and weaknesses.  Today it all came together when I shot at this buck from 550 yards.  I had buck fever so bad I don't know how I hit him, but he went down!  I don't think I could have fully appreciated this guy if I hadn't done it all myself (except the packing...I'm not as tough as I thought I was and had to call my husband to help me out!). Oh yeah...and he's bigger than any buck my husband has shot...tee hee! :IBCOOL:
