Nice ram Deflatem!

Looks like you didn't have to go too awfully high to find him.

Pretty sure this prairie runner may qualify for the record here in MT...the record for smallest critter. Passed up the herd buck at 30 yards (landowners request if I got close enough) and took one of the small bucks. Good news is that I'll still be able to hunt that area again some day :)

RuttinBull - you will enjoy that meat for a long time to come.

Here in MN, my pop and I along with 2 friends had 2 moose tags for the same area. They shot a 10.5 year old moose (49") and we shot a 4.5 year old (43"). The taste was fine, but both were really tough. Really Tough! Even the hamburger was Tough! (That is a slight exaggeration.)

We vowed that if we were ever lucky enough to hunt moose again, we would shoot the youngest bull we could find.

Got lucky enough to draw a 270 muley tag. Not the biggest deer in the world, but I sure am happy with him. A 7x8 with lots of character and pretty decent mass.

Before anyone questions my shot placement, he was quartering away at 44 yards, straight uphill. Solid hit on the right lung. He ran 25 yards and piled up. The whole thing was over in less than a minute.

Thanks Scoutin'. Amazing how far some deer can travel with a lethal hit.. I hit high and back.. he reacted to the shot more than I thought he would... arrow hit one lung, liver and severed the dorsal aorta.. traveled 400 yards.. last 100 he wasn't bleeding anymore.. he was out of it.. After some time gridding I started glassing the river.. spotted an odd looking branch protruding from the water... talk about going from a low to a high..
