CatfishKev Report post Posted January 9, 2022 Got my first mule deer and i couldnt be happier. Hunted this guy for days never seeing him and yesterday morning he decided to show up. We weren't sure if it was him or not so i gave chase. Once i was able to get a good look at him i texted my buddy that i was going for it. Chasing muleys for the first time was pretty fun but man finding a mature buck can sure be a challenge! 39 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatfishKev Report post Posted January 9, 2022 44 minutes ago, turbo said: Good buck. How did it all go down? Well, mutiple arrows. My buddies found him on the rifle hunt but killed a didferent buck last hours of last days. Even though i was with them for the majority of the hunt i never personally saw him. I only knew he was there because they told me. Stalked to 20 yards and waited for him to take 2 steps from behind a bush. Well the doe he was on made a beeline to me and i knew she was gonna bust me so i drew back and stood up, only had a front shot so i took it. He fell forward and laid down while i scrambled to knock one of my last 2 arrows. He jumped up and started to trot around me and i tried to lead him an let the next arrow go. That one ended up in his hind quarter went through the opposite quarter and broke his femur. He was trotting and stopping so i had a perfext broadside shot and i took one more st him with my emergency arrow that jad a damaged vane. Well i shouda ranged him again but i didnt, it him him and he dropped straight down and i thought that was it. Well it wasnt... when i got back to him he jumped up again. At this point i freaked out a bit and decided to go to where he last stood and walk the blood trail backward to find one of my arrows to finish him off. Once i did both arrows nocks were broken so i had to use my leatherman to make a makeshift nock. Snuck back up and double lunged him and watched him expire. I felt bad for the poor guy and im very thankful i was able to finish him without him suffering too long. Buck fever is real man, im not a peffect archer at all bit i absolutely love archery. If i didnt get all jacked up on adrenaline whenever im close to letting an arrow fly i would probably quit hunting. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smfh In my case only persistance and luck. 2 deer ago between december and january i launched like 11 arrows before i killed my last big coues. Halfway from buck fever and the other half was trying to range in tall grass is super difficult. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
