Mulie buck for an out of state hunter

Colorado Redneck · November 29, 2019, 07:05 PM

I took a shirt tail relative mule deer hunting. He had wanted to do a Colorado muley hunt for a long time, and so I agreed to help him. He is from out of state and lives a long way from here so it was a costly adventure for him. He has hunted deer a lot more than me, but always whitetail, so he wasn't a novice. It snowed all day the day before we hunted. He spied a few little whitetail bucks, a few muley does. Then he saw a pretty nice buck by any standard, and got it down. The guy was really excited to get a decent buck. It was a great experience for me too. He caped it back to the tail and down to the legs and he has a taxidermist that is going to do a "backpack mount."
I will try posting a picture here. My phone takes photos that have to many pixels and even chopping them down doesn't do it.

Ha! used the computer and resized so here is the buck my buddy took a few days ago. It will cost him $140 for the backpack mount. Kentucky....wish taxidermists here were that reasonable.

It was a lucky hunt, to get a buck like this guy did. He was a fun companion to go with.
