WOW, very nice!

Did you stalk him from the ground? Do many people hunt from tree stands out west? Where'd you hit him? How far did he go man?!

Need more details for an easterner!

Excellent pics, too. Although the first 2 may get deleted by the mods because of the size.

Shot was 12yds.Quatering on. Took out 1 lung,liver and out through the stomach. Traveled about 800yds before he piled up. After the shot,I knew I hit him a little far back so I let him lay for 3 hrs. Found him stone dead. My 10yr old daughter took the pics for me.

That is one beautiful muley. Tell your daughter she did a great job on the pictures. Congratulations! You might have a hard time finding a better deer than that! :thumbsup:

Great buck!

Bowhunting mule deer is a blast! I'm headed out for a rifle hunt for them tomorrow and bringing my bow too!

A beauty, congrats on a great job. How did you ever get into 12 yards of this guy, he obviously has been around a while?

I just love this bow! Marblewood/Mrytle riser w/ bamboo limbs under clear glass. Quick too, 525gr arrow @165fps. I can't recommend Maddog bows enough.Mike did a fantastic job w/ this bow.

I drew him in w/ scents. I combined mule deer doe urine w/ whitetail doe in heat urine. Brought him in like he was on a string from over 500yds out. They are rutting hard right now.

That's a good one Mike, (I guess 44# is enough) ;) Not to mention your first mule deer, I know guys who hunted a long time for mulies and haven't gotten one like that with a rifle.
