Thoes are some nice deer Hiker. What do you do with all the antlers?

Awesome!

The bottom picture looks like it could have been taken in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa (except then the Mule Deer would have been a Southern Reedbuck). The top picture, well, I have hunted in heavy rain before, but not in that nasty white stuff. :D

Thanks! Ron.

Hunterbug, I usually do horn mounts or if they are bigger, shoulder mounts.

Rodders, :D That was some cold weather in the snow photo. When we finally made it back to the truck, the temperature read -8 F without the wind.

Bowhunter51, I didn't realize how red my nose was until you pointed it out. LOL! That was one cold night, I shot that buck right before dark, about 2-3 miles back in and it took forever to drag it out but thankfully my good friend, Rick Mc. was with me to help me.
I use to run long traplines on foot as a kid and have been in some bad weather and windchills that hit -30 and below. It's amazing I still have all of my toes and fingers. Trapping Beaver and Rats at that temperature is crazy and I've fell through the ice more then I care to remember, LOL! By the Grace of God, I'm still here.

Yep,..I hear that!..:)....Heck, we hardly ever see temperatures in the teens

going on, over there in Colorado...................................................BH51..

bowhunter51, Grace pure Grace! I've hunted hard and have studied animals all of my life but it still boils down to Gods Grace. The Lord gave me a lot of lean years but over the last 8 or so years has given me my largest bucks of my life. I'm still waiting on a Booner or a P & Y buck and maybe someday The Lord will bless me with one. As long as I can give Him the glory and stay humble through it.

Bowedark, You had a good year last year too. Thanks for posting your photos on the other thread.

Hiker · July 29, 2006, 10:35:23 AM

Please post some of your Muleys. :D

Thanks Bowedark. Those are some nice muleys. Great job! Did you put them on your wall?

These are a couple from 2004, Jeremy's first buck and a few years back.

Here's the nice little 3 point Sam got last year. Nice and fat plus a pretty big body.

This is Ben's first deer back in '01

I have yet to shoot a muley in Colorado, I've just been to picky.
