This is a mule deer buck my dad glassed. He was hunting a friend and glassed this buck up. It is the biggest mule deer he has seen in his life. Here is the story, My dad got out of the truck and started to glass. He glassed the buck, it was one of the "We need to kill this deer" right when you see him things. Dad tells his friend "We need to kill this deer" the friend "What do you think he is"? Dad "I don't know, we just need to kill him, he's big". Dad tells his buddy, "Hey this is how we need to get on this buck and what to do". Well my dad takes off walking, He looks behind him and his buddy's gone! Gets on the radio, "Where are you"....... Nothing. He waits for his buddy, waits and waits. Finally he said screw it I'm going to walk on top this knob, he was thinking the buck would be about 300 yards. Well he walks on the knob and the buck was at 300 yards....... No shooter! So he walked back out, no radio, nothing. I guess I will go take some pictures he said. He finally gets the guy on the radio after he got the pictures and walked back out! He said get over here. Long story short the buck walked over the hill. The friend told my dad he was chasing around a little buck and some does. Why do you chase deer your not going to shoot????? Anyway, that evening they got at 500 yards. The friend didn't feel good enough to take the shot (300 yards is far for him). The next day they got at 500 yards again. He took the shot..... Shot 5+ times, never got within 10-15 yards of the deer.
This is the buck he finally ended up killing.
