[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1821516, member: 108965"] When I was 8 yrs old I missed my chance at the biggest Desert Mulie I've ever seen to this date, never seen another animal that big. So my dad had gotten me a Savage over under rifle, 223 Rem on top of a 20, one cool gun. We used to hunt some ranches in Sonora Mexico that belonged to my uncles in laws. One afternoon I went dove and quail hunting and got enough for dinner for all of us. Thw next morning we went for a walk and ran in to this big beautiful old mulie, pulled the hammer back, set the crosshair right behind the shoulder and fired, what happened? A cloud of dust of all the pellets fromt the 20 ga, thats what happened, oh and a monster mulie that walked out of my life forever. We nicknamed him "El Viejo", means "old man" in spanish. In the years that followed an uncle of mine, one cousin and a friend also missed their chances to shoot him. I don't think anyone ever got him and we believed he died of age. One uncle ran in to him at about 60 yds and all he could do was stare at the massive rack and watched him walk away, he said he couldn't bring himself to shoot that beauty. To this day I can still relive that moment and I still regret not checking the gun and adjusting the lever back to the 223 barrel. We did feast on bacon wrapped quail and dove kabobs that night, that was the only good thing that came out of that, a great dinner with my dad, uncles and friends, and a great story that we still laugh about.
