Awesome buck, Juan (Edit :) Looks like his velvet was already splitting. Are you going to mount in velvet? Real or fake velvet? Congratulations!
From: Juan_ID
18-Aug-16
Thanks guys, and it's spelled "Juan" Embry and Bowboy! ;) His velvet was in great condition before the shot but he tore it up a little crashing through the brush and when he fell. He's in the freezer as we speak so he'll be getting mounted with the real thing. I can't stand the look of fake velvet

Here's a couple I shot just this morning! Ha Ha
Congrats to all of you on some very nice bucks.
My son called me just before dark last night and said he shot a nice 4x4 here in Utah. Then he text me this morning that he was with a friends 12 year old son and watched him shoot a nice 3 point. His older brother also shot his buck the night before, so they are going down.
But I received a text with a photo from another friend today and his young son, (I think the first year he could hunt) arrowed a huge, and I mean huge buck (around 200). He poofed it and the buck made it less than 10 yards. He ask that I not share the photo at this time and of course I will honor that. It was a Utah buck in a general area, not a limited unit.
Have a great bow hunt. BB
PS. Notice the shadow of the last bucks antlers on the rock.
Mule deer bucks rock!

Midwest:
I had 13 points.......just got tired of building points knowing I'll probably never draw the Henries or paunsagaunt. Wanted a fun hunt with lots of bucks. The Book Cliffs is just that, IMO......but not known for big deer.

I took this buck in Alberta a couple of days ago with Wild West Outfitters. I was able to get in to 80 yards of him earlier in the morning and just hoped that he'd get up and come my way, but the wind flickered just enough to alert him and the 3 bucks he was with to the human presence in the area. I waited for them to cross over the ridge before following and was able to spot them bedding down in a break in a dam. It was a perfect location for me, and I was able to get in to 15 yards from the closest buck at 33 yards from this one. He had dug himself a bed into the dirt bank overhang so that only his head and neck was exposed. The closest buck was bedded facing me, and I knew that he'd see me as soon as he stood, so I waited with an arrow nocked and my release on the string. The sun was nearly on him so I knew that it wouldn't be long. He started to look around after about 15 minutes, and when his head dipped down, I drew. As soon as he stood, he locked on to me and blew out. The big buck didn't even look, he just evacuated his bed as fast as he could. Luckily, he stopped and did the classic muley look-back at what I figured to be 45 yards. The VPA took out the top of his heart and he barely made it 100 yards before expiring. I also took a great antelope on this hunt on the first stalk of the first day, after passing up bucks for the past 7 years, waiting for the right one.

Congrats on some great muleys. I didn't hunt deer this year (might grab a leftover tag somewhere) but I had an odd year. I hunted elk 6 days this year in good mule deer habitat and never saw a deer. The State is trying to grow the herd back after knocking it down as an experiment to slow down CWD. When I was a kid this area had a pretty big population.

Passed him up earlier at close range while holding out for one of the two big guys in the area

Second time around he wasn't so lucky.
Second time around he wasn't so lucky.
He was the 16th buck I called/decoyed into range in 14 days of hunting. With the weather coming and running out of time I decided to put him in the freezer. He walked by at 10 FEET where I was hiding behind some fallen branches, and I shot him walking away at 7 yards. Fell over 80 yards later, in a great spot I could drive to. So it all worked out and he'll do for this year!
Fabulous buck, Mathewsman! Was he one of your "yard bucks"? :)

Jaquomo- I wish, no we hunted a water source. Hunting this year was strange, hot temps and unseasonable weather made it tough. Guiding, the deer was great for rifle, and I managed to get lucky with the combo deer/elk hunter I had taking both, but it was extremely difficult to even fill a husband/wife rifle 3 day cow hunt, which most years would be a first morning type of deal.

Just a little forky, but now I can legitimately say when asked where? "right in the center of the heart !!!"
Longest pack out I've ever had on a deer at about 4 miles on my skis and the buck in a jet sled. Shortest tracking job of 11 yards and the second smallest buck I've ever shot :)
Cheers, Pete
