The photos will be evaluated by myself and some of the admins/moderators.  The top two or three may then be voted on by your peers. A winner (NO TIES) will be announced when the poll is over.  If there is a tie, we'll sort it out.

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. :drool: 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...

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!
