This season, we hunted hard and hunted often. Never was able to find a good buck the whole time. A few mishaps happened throughout the time we hunted and finally on our last day we decided to pull the trigger on this little guy! Going to be good eating at least. Good to take him out of the gene pool as we don't think he wouldv'e been bigger then a 4 by3 anyways.



On a positive note, we tried the butt out and it worked like a gem! As well Brett skinned the whole deer by himself after, allowing me and my brother-inlaw to relax.

Cheers, Andy

By the sounds of it you had a full hunting season and enjoyed it and got to top it off with some fine table fare. In the end thats the whole goal.. Well done and thx for sharing your hunt.

Sometimes the smaller bucks are the better eating. Congrats!

nice little buck... i cant help but notice that he doesnt have any brow tines... is this normal? i dont remember seeing a deer b4 without them

Its a Mule deer wildmeat and as such they generaly don't get brow times until they are quite mature. I may be wrong but even then some never do get brow tines..

right... shouldve looked a little closer at the species of the animal... ha ha thanks... blonde moment... then again ive never hunted mule deer yet so maybe its just complete ignorance on my part
