Title: North Dakota 6x5 Mulie
Post by: NWTFhunter on December 08, 2013, 08:24:06 PM: Well, I think I have thawed out just enough to write this! Headed out Saturday morning 12/7/13 in-24 temps and was in no hurry to leave the warmth of my truck. Did a lot of glassing from the seat with the heater blasting. Saw lots of does on all 3 of the properties I can hunt. Saw only 1 small buck, so decided to hit the last piece i hadnt checked. I stopped at the gate to open it, stepped out of the truck and 70 yds away stood a nice shooter! Jumped in truck and sped up the hill and out of sight. I geared up as fast as I could and began searching for the buck. I crept to the top of the hill, and there were 3 shooters at 45 yrds. Glassed the bigger one and saw a sticker on his left rack! I nocked an arrow, stood and let her rip! I saw the arrow hit high, and he dropped in his tracks! SPINE SHOT! I have seen that kind of hit only a couple times on tv shows, so I let him have about 10 minutes, and then the work began! This was the coldest hunt I have ever had, and it took several warm ups before I could load him in the truck! Dont have very good pics due to cold, selfies aint easy at-20 ! When I got home and the family was so happy, and my wife grabbed a few more pics for me also.

Post by: NWTFhunter on December 12, 2013, 06:35:12 PM: Bone........... I am now in the club !
MLB, yes, 2 for 2 now.
MKJ, We live in Williston, and I hunt south of there in the area of Alexander which is in the grass lands and the beginning of the badlands.
jackmaster, It was so cold you could freeze a buck in a matter of an hour. :IBCOOL: Actually, once I saw him, I completely forgot about how cold it was. Now the gutting part is a whole different story !
bearhunter, I might know an area you can connect :drool: But, the timing has to be right and hit the rut.

And thanks to all the rest of you for your kind words. I love mulie hunting over here ~
