2023 season over before it started.

[Jwp2578]

I just returned from an unsuccessful Wyoming mule deer hunt that had me feeling pretty down. Hadn't had any whitetail bucks on camera at home either so I wasn't to pumped about the season. Opening day I got out to a pasture that I hunt about 15 minutes before sundown, had the wife and two kids with me as we had just finished feeding cows. I really figured I'd set a tripod up so I didn't have to set it up in the dark the next morning and that the kids would scare anything away as I don't use a blind just sit on the ground in a wide open pasture. I throw some cow feed out a little off the tree line about 330 yards away so if you stay fairly still nothing pays much attention. We got set up and not 10 minutes later a buck that I'd only seen from other people sending me pics jumped over the fence. 320 yards dropped and never took a step. Season over 2023 turned out way better than expected. Trail cam pic someone sent from 4 miles down river.

That is one outstanding whitetail alpha buck! What cartridge rifle, bullet, etc did you use to take him? He definitely put that Wyoming mule deer hunt in the rear view mirror! Congratulations

That's a lot of bone.! Congrats.
What do your deer normally weigh?

A lot of people on here will never get the chance to do what you just did.
A great buck for sure!!

I'm not sure what he weighs They typically don't get that big around here, quite a few people hunt the south side of the river. Most don't get the chance to mature.
