This is my second Muledeer of my lifetime
We had been watching this guy for a couple months and when hunting season arrived, the landowner which I know would not give me permission to hunt there because he said another guy was hunting there probably after this same buck
So after many trips past there watching him in other fields, we never did see this guy hunting once. So on this day, I was at my best bud's father's funeral and we were going over to the bar next-door to have a couple drinks for his father which his funeral was actually on his birthday so we were having a birthday whiskey for his father and my son called And said the buck is out in Darrel's field and that I should call him and see if he'll let me hunt it this time.
So I called Darrel and said hey Darrel I haven't seen this guy hunting here once and the buck is out there right now and he said OK just shoot it. I said OK thanks.
I phoned my son back and told him we were good to go which he was at home about 20 minutes away. I said let me have two drinks in the bar with my buddy and the family and come pick me up and bring my 30 Nosler and my rangefinding binos my hunting clothes.
About a half an hour later he showed up at the bar. I was finished my two drinks told my buddy that I'm going to shoot this deer which did not move in a couple hours since my son first seen him. They were bedded down in the field and when arrived and snuck up to 475 yards And they would not stand up so I just shot him in the neck at 475 and it was instant death.
Half an hour after I left the bar I sent the picture to my buddy. I had my dress shoes on and dress clothes underneath my camo haha
He's 180" deer which is by no means a monster, but he looks great on the wall
