azhuntnut Report post Posted November 12, 2010 We had a pretty good year. Tim Herald, the host of THE ZONE and Nosler's Magnum TV came out to hunt with us, along with a good friend of his to film a trophy mule hunt. It was really hot this year and the big bucks were not moving much, and staying in the thick cover. The first few days were uneventful, except for a few small bucks. On the third morning of the hunt, his friend Mark was able to shoot this nice muley at 375 yards. The buck ended up measureing 30.5 inches wide and double eyegaurds on the left side. After getting Marks buck taken care of, Tim arrived from the airport and we took him for a quick tour of our place. That evening we hunted, but did not see anything worth shooting. The next morning started off slow and we only spotted a javelina. After lunch we headed out to check out another area, but got a call from Ben, my partner telling us about a buck one of his guys thought he saw hanging out in some tall cover where they were working. We got over there and got set up. In the past we have had great success hunting coyotes near the fields when they are being cut, so I thought that this deer might act the same. I have never hunted deer like this in the past, but I figured it was worth hanging out to get a look at the buck since is was the middle of the afternoon and nothing else was going on. After a while we finally noticed the buck running away from us right down the edge of the Sorghum, but then unexpectedly turned and started running right towards us. The only problem was that Tim was blocked by a huge tumble weed bush and couldn't see the buck running towards us. The buck finally run out from behind the bush and Tim shot him at only 70 yards. We were extremely lucky to get this buck. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. The buck grossed scored just over 190 inches, with a ton of mass. I spent most of my muzzy season last year trying to shoot this buck, but he always gave me the slip. Both of these bucks were taken on private property that is strictly enforced. I know some of the members here disagree with hunting on private property, or agriculture areas. Please don't turn this thread into a negative one. I am sure most hunters would have a hard time passing up these trophy bucks no matter where they were hunting. Please show some respect for these great trophy bucks.
