Title: Deer Hunting Partners
Post by: KillerMiller on January 02, 2010, 08:04:31 AM: In 2005, while chasing a 4x4 muley my partners decided to try a "new call", one of them pulled from their pack a "survival" whistle and began blowing on it. Soon a muley with a decent "ear spread" made an appearance from behind a tree. After contemplating my dilemma...., I pulled back and let fly. The result, a deer with a 22" ear spread tip-to-tip and two hunting partners for life.

Love the expression on the little girls face, it is priceless.

Congrats on 2 lifetime hunting partners. They seem to be enjoying themselves.

That doe probably ate better than that 4x4 anyway.
