Every few years my brother invites me hunting in Colorado. I drew a tag for Mule deer with a muzzleloader. I never hunted Mule Deer. It really was a unique experience. I hunted 3 days, and learned their habits and unique behavior. On the fourth day, I spotted this buck bedded at 7:30 am. I started my stalk working my way through sage, pinion brush, and Colorado scrub. At 10:00, I got within 50 yards. He finally stood up quartering away and the smoke pole lit up. I was fortunate to place a perfect shot right behind the shoulder. I never thought I would have this opportunity, I thank my dear brother for the invite. A bond between us, I will never forget.
Thanks for listening......

Glad you had a great experience hunting mule deer, Tom.  Congrats.
My other passion besides spring gobbler hunting is pursuing big mule deer bucks...most often with a muzzleloader, as well.

Thank you sir. Yes, stalking them with open sights keeps it up close and personal. Be safe my friend....

Congrats on a nice Muley. Glad you and your brother had loads of fun and made some great memories.  I had planned a few years back for a Mule deer hunt in Colorado and now my hunting partner is 80 and said he would not go with me.  I have 18 points for Mule Deer.  Looks like a ton of fun.
