Dude that thing it's pretty sweet!!! Congrats

This is my very first Buck ever! An Thanks to some good friend's and hunting buddy's was able to connect on this BEAUTIFUL desert mule deer , first shot was at 53yards, he ran only 20 yards then he stopped , nocked another arrow and let it fly hit him again at 73 yards! An to top it off, Go back to the area I shot my buck looking for a couple lost arrows , get to where we finish cleaning my buck and not 35 yards away there's javelina !! I shot mine at 27 yards , My dad got his at 18 yards and while blood trailing my dads pig the blood trail takes me right past my arrow I had shot at my buck 5 days earlier what's are the odds of that happening !! Great great day in the wild

Well figured I'd share my beautiful desert mule deer mount I just got back !! He looks amazing can't wait tell January comes back around , see if something comes together for another great story!! An good luck to all the rifle hunter about to head out!!

Well was lucky enough to tag out yesterday, after closing the distance from over 1000 yards to about 225 yards the group of antelope was not too interested in me and my decoy at that point in the morning so after they turn tail and ran off I decided to get to the High Point and glass all around me , Once I get to the top I relocate the group of antelope again, So I circle around and approach from a different direction . As I'm working my way up the hill I come across a badger, then I work my way across the flats and the badger beat me to a tree out there well as I'm playing around with the badger for 5 to 10 minutes I looked to my left and spot the antelope, then I turn my attention to the antelope I don't make it 40 yards from the tree where the badger was and the buck spots me and my decoy he comes running from over 300 yards away on a string straight to me he comes up to about 45 yards turn broadside I draw back my bow, he decides to turn and run out to 75 yards so I let down adjust my pin and I draw back again and let it fly! I hit him waited a few before I started to track him. Track him over a couple little Rolling hills, and catch him bedded down in the open no more doe's around him. He tries to stand up and nearly falls over and then stands there and proceeds to shake his head as if he's getting real dizzy! Then lays down under some trees I wait for another 10 or 15 minutes then I snuck my way down to him got to about 47 yards I draw back my bow and hammered him in the chest again he gets up and takes off again to my surprise I wait a little bit and track him and the rest is history !! I will tell you what though my adrenaline went from 0 to 1000 in a matter of seconds ,seconds!!!! I hope one year I am lucky enough to draw another tag such a fun fun hunt beautiful and interesting animals as well !!

Thank you everyone for the comments !! Thanks for looking , sure was a blast still living the hunt!! An will for the rest of my life. Good luck to everyone that has hunts coming up this year , shoot straight and have a great time out there be safe everyone.

Hey nice deer man!!

Yea I was lucky ha ha ha ,only hung the lag bolt once!!

Well I was lucky enough this year to draw a archery bull tag. Since the season started I had been out pretty far away from the San Fransisco peaks like 5 plus miles or so north was glass a nice 6x6 out there just about every day for 4 days mornings almost every afternoon I'd get a sighting of him then at dark I spot him some where. Also seen a nice 5x5 as well also seem like they got quite once the opener hit. My dad was getting rained on close to the peaks while my friend and I never seen a drop of rain. Well Monday my friend had to return home for work while I got to spend some time and hunt with my dad.Tuesday didnt have much action then Wednesday I take my dad out to where I been trying to chase the 6x6 we can find some cows after the clouds lifted a bit from the hill no bull. Well the roads were pretty muddy in that area finally got a little rain during the night. So I though go back have some lunch and we should hunt this area by camp where I have seen a number of elk during deer season. That after noon around 3 we get back to where we want to park pop out and walk down a ways and hit this fence then follow it down the hill a ways. As we are moving down my dad spots something brown through the trees ( Hey hey, I see elk I can't tell if its a bull ) well he makes he's way over the fence and oh yea he's a bull once he hits a open spot. I throw my pack down nock an arrow check the wind its perfect. Time to move in, as I'm stalking him he stays about 100 yards ahead of me. After about 30 minutes of following him I start to see other elk, some cows off in the distance about 80 or 90 yards away from him feeding. I make it to some trees I range him 90 yards it reads. Oh I can do a little better close the gap to 70 yards he's kinda quartering away from me. I'm right behind 3 little trees to hide me drawing my bow and I slowly lean around the corner of the trees settled my 70 yard pin right behind his last rib and let her fly. After the shoot didn't hear a load crash or anything couldn't find my arrow or any blood was heart broken though I had missed my bull. Well after searching tell dark and not finding anything arrow or blood I had to come back the next morning. Well went back looked and looked and looked still nothing I was in shock I know I can hit 70 I know I had to of hit him. Well I was about to give up when I made a loop in the opposite direction he ran in after the shoot well after making my loop back to the fence he had crossed the night i shoot him, just a few hundred yards lower I'm walking down the fence line when I stumble into my first dead bull elk with a bow. Could be more pleased with him and to have my dad around to help me with this beautiful animal.

Got my elk back a while ago, decided to share with everyone! An good luck to all who pulled elk tags this year!

Awesome job!

Great looking bull congrats!
