Jokes...everybody.

Stalking mule deer with a recurve to killing range is going to have a high rate of failure. If he's finding legal bucks and is able to stalk within 100 yards, he just needs to slow down and enjoy the challenge of getting within 20 yards or less. It's going to be hard but it'll be awesome when he closes the deal.

He shoots via film more animal of every variety than most of us will see in 20 years of hunting. This was a great thread from last year and he shoots stick and string. Shoot him a pm....get a few pointers....and hope it all works out.

Don't know how your communicating during his stock but I think cell phone and radio guiding him in is illegal :bdid:
