So my brother and I just got back from our first Wyoming Mule deer hunt! It was all on BLM and State land, DIY. Man was it a learning experience but just a ton of fun too! We only filled one tag but passed several small bucks and does looking for the "good ones"

The shot was 517 meters to the bottom of a nasty canyon!!

Re: WY Mule Deer!!

Judging by the teeth, I would say the man closest to the horns killed the deer. I know I would be smiling like a saint if killed it. That is a nice deer.
 
Re: WY Mule Deer!!

Thanks guys, Ya, that is me closest to the horns!! We were hunting in unit 66. Muddy Mtn area. It was really tough hunting! I shot him on the 5th day of hard hunting. He was the only shooter buck we saw. Several other hunters out there too.

Re: WY Mule Deer!!

Thanks Guys!
We didnt see them, but the guys camping a ridge over had several elk in range but they were deer hunting with no elk tag! They got some great pics.
Good luck!
 
Re: WY Mule Deer!!

Ya, thanks Pat, it was a ton of work but worth the work!!

Nate is going to build a rifle now..

another one corrupted!! He wants a light weight build out of his 270. Should be similar to Chip's.

Thanks guys for the complements!
