Perfect buck and a perfect ending to a perfect father/daughter hunt. Mature mule deer bucks are the absolute best big game hunting has to offer. Wouldn’t trade that experience for another hunt anywhere in the world.

I have three sons, everyone of them have had the exact same experience as you and your daughter just had, hunting the same locations, at the same times in their lives. We each have the same memories that you just made today. Couldn’t be happier for you.

You have a beautiful daughter and she now has a beautiful mule deer buck to go with an outstanding father.

Every child, born into a hunting family, should get to have the same experience. There is no better way to preserve the hunting tradition for many year into the future.

All the best to the 257Tony legacy.

Thanks Lumpy, it really means a lot to hear such kind words and encouragement. Seems like society has downplayed the role and importance of father's so much these days. Thanks again.

Thanks for taking us along!!!

Wondering if the deer ever showed up yet over there on the Zion? I was there the past 5 days and nothing like it was last year!!

That's awesome, really puts his size into perspective seeing him next to that other buck. Have you put numbers on him? What's he tape out at? Not that it matters just curious.

All I got left to say……When you make the Jeremey Houston Honor Roll you know you done good.

I think it’s extra special when you have a before the after picture to go with the memory mount!

Well done!

For a second there I had to make sure that wasn’t a 60” main beam myself! LOL

2lumpy · Oct 31, 2022

Look at how much her buck grew from last year to this year. Pretty amazing……

Bigwiffy · Oct 31, 2022

BradA · Nov 8, 2022

Congratulations to your daughter and good work on your end. Out of curiosity what did her buck score I would put it close to your buck from last year with all the mass and being taller.

BLooDTRaCKeR · Nov 10, 2022

That’s a dandy! She did good once again! Thanks for the writeup, it was fun to live vicariously through that experience! Tell her congrats on another great animal!

I'm generally a little low on my measuring, I figured her buck would push 180 and he does.

2lumpy · Nov 11, 2022

Heck ya. Now both you and your daughter are happy…….. we know how that works…….. and not a dang thing wrong with it either.

Cam@strawberry · Nov 11, 2022
