2008 New Mexico buck

[Rick]

I tagged a nice 180 class mule deer buck in New Mexico on 11-2-08.   I used a .300 Win Mag with a 150 gr Hornady Interbond at about 3300 FPS.   It turned out to be a shot I could have made with a .30-30, but I could not count on that, as the country could have made a 400 yard shot required....
 
 

 
 

 
 
Mine is to the right - that is Chris's 150 class buck on the left.
 

 
 
He weighed 179 pounds, dressed -

Nice looking pair of mulies there Rick.  How close were you when you shot him?  What part of New Mexico were you in, no need to get more specific than a cardinal direction.

Thanks, guys,  He was pretty grey,  while the others taken were more brown.   He was takne about 15 -20 miles outside Silver City.   My other friend took a buck that measured 166 and Moe took one right at 150, too.

I was hunting Unit 24.
 
 
(I really don't like the tongue hanging out pictures, but I forget, especially when someone else is taking them, to put the tongue back in....)
