    Wifes first Muley

    Well lets say our hunt started out promising. My wife and I drew a tag for 3a/3c and opening evening we glassed up a bachelor heard of three 3x3's and a monster 5x5. The sun was dropping and they were about 1200 yards away. As we made the hump they dropped out of sight into a cut. While slowly walking into the cut I picked up the monster buck about 250 yards away. I immediately told my wife I am taking this one. As I was getting set to put the scope on him he dropped a little lower into the cut preventing the shot from my position. My wife had the cross hairs on one of the 3x3's but I wanted the monster so she didn't take a shot. I only needed about two steps to gain elevation to take my shot but yep I made too much noise and off they ran. Probably a buck of a life time and I blew it. Saturday morning we picked up two small bucks and my wife was not picky like me. We approached within 300 yards and she put the cross hairs on the buck pulled the trigger and nothing. After looking at the rifle she realized the bolt wasn't seeded and the bucks ran off. After that evening we didn't see anything but does and elk. Then two days of 40 mph winds. Our last two days we focused on a area saturated by hunters but was the only place we were seeing deer. Friday morning my wife picked up two bucks. Both of which were 2x2's but the bigger one was broadside. They ranged at 465 yards down hill. My wife's first shot was high. After a slight adjustment she hit the mark. The buck moved about 15 yards and laid down but kept trying to get up so one more shot to finish the job. She tried convincing me to take the other buck who stayed close but again I wanted something bigger. Sunday morning was my last opportunity and with first light I picked up three bucks two 3x3's and a 2x2. Without all the embarrassing details lets just say I blew it again. We were on the same hill normally saturated with hunters so I rushed to prevent anyone else from having the opportunity to take a shot. I had no business taking a 565 yard shot under those conditions. Needless to say there was no one else on the hill and I could have taken my time and gotten much closer. Although disappointed in myself I couldn't be any prouder of my wife Kelly and to share it with her. I can't wait to get it back from the taxidermy. Here are a few pics.

    What rifle scope do you use?

    I also have the Ziess Conquest 3-9x Rapid Z 600 reticle. Be careful with a reticle scope, makes you want to shoot further than you should.

    drop tine bucks - how rare are they?

    Have not seen a drop tine but recently while helping my buddy on his archery hunt we came across a buck with two spikes on his left side and a fork on his right. Was a young buck but almost to rare to pass up. Wife and I have our hunt in same unit come October and knowing my wife she wont pass on it. Going to be an awesome non-typical with age.

    Fort Knox Safe Defender 6031 For Sale

    I have the same safe and love it......make sure you have plenty of friends to move it, it's heavy. Three big guys moved this and really could have used a fourth.
  23. Looking to buy the Cabelas 12x50 Euros due to getting them for a great price. I am not willing to dish out the money on Swaros or Leica right now so was looking for any feedback on the Euros. Reviews I have been reading seem pretty good but one concern was Fogging due to one review. Does anyone have any info on these binos.
  24. Found these sheds after trying to make a stalk on a buck with 6 does. As you can tell from the picture it was like trying to make a stalk on the moon. i was able to get within 55 yards but the buck spooked after I ranged him. Always second guessing myself but I should of just let an arrow fly especially with it being a down hill shot. After it was all said and done I was glassing and picked up some wild horses. I had my buddy take and look and he noticed two sheds approximately 10 yards below the horses. Vary rarely do you find a set.
