Texas Panhandle Mule Deer

[WTOBob]

Saturday 20th was our opening day for mule deer. I found this buck a week ago while on a scouting trip and luckily he was still in the same area a week later. I found him around 7am Saturday morning and finally put a Berger Elite Hunter from the WTO 6.5/284 in him at 4:30pm. Those EH bullets are nasty. I ranged the buck at 303 yards and the bullet grenaded inside him. It was a messy field dress to say the least.

He is an old deer that has gone kind of funky. Fixing to have him aged when he goes to the taxidermist for a euro.

Nice muley. I hunt around Childess and have bagged a couple of nice ones over the years.

My guess is that deer is 8-10 years old. I bet his teeth are worn down to nothing. Nice work!

Public or private land? Area? I don't live there but just curious. Thanks
