Yuma Outdoorsman Report post Posted October 23, 2021 I can't ever get a photo of this buck head on, he's always got his head sideways. It's by far the widest and tallest. I'm guessing it is pushing 25-26" wide. This photo was from September 3 so he's grown quite a bit since then. I don't have hardly any photos of him in focus. Everything is blurred or I've got half a rack with nothing to judge against. I know that he will look great in my scope though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully he doesn’t move exclusively at night lol. Good luck. When does your hunt start? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m just hoping to get a little lucky 200's are a rare animal. I have killed a ton of desert muleys and only one over 200. 10-15 years ago I used to see at least one buck a year that would crack the 200 mark. It has been at least 5 years since I have seen one. Best of luck. Killing a giant desert mule deer with bow or rifle is a tough one. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a also a desert muley in desert muley country not a coues living on the sunny side of a hill shining like a diamond in a goats butt. It’s impossible to glass to where I’ve had him on cam. I’ll probably have to try elsewhere during the hunt. Get one of those Texas rigs in the back of your Truck, put you up 12 feet high,LOL.................BOB! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Island junkie Report post Posted October 24, 2021 These bright nights will keep getting darker as your hunt approaches so should be more active by Friday. I’ve been watching a group of bucks for a guy who has that hunt and they were somewhat predictable until this moon then yep they crawled into their underground air conditioned condos!

Missed a few had some really bad luck on a few. But it can be done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the one I’m hunting was 180” in 2019 and he’s bigger now i shot at a rock today probably 2’x2’today at 604 in heavy wind and I drilled it middle so I’m pretty confident the gun is on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you find that buck. Good luck. Sounds like if you find him, you have a great chance to get a shot if you are accurate out to 600 yards. Good luck, Can't wait to see how your hunt goes.
