LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-13 AT 04:42AM (MST)[p]Two of my three sons came to NW Wyoming to hunt mule deer with me this year. The oldest son lives in Colorado and the middle son lives in Idaho. I was hunting on a general tag and my sons had regional nonresident F tags. All the hunts were on public land. My oldest son made a 425 yard heart shot on his buck with a 7mm Remington Magnum. His longest shot to date. A 4x4 with a single eye guard.
My middle son took his buck the next day. His older brother spotted the buck and the stalk was on. This buck was in heavy timber and my son took it with a long head shot. The buck was standing behind a tree forever and this was the only shot that was presented. This buck was hinky and was accompanied by a group of does that were very nervous. This buck was by far the best muley buck we took. A 4x4 with eye guards.
My buck was taken on the same day as my oldest son. It was a 21" 3x4 and the smallest of the three bucks we took. I shot him as he ran across a steep hillside. He tumbled down the hill and lodged up against a deadfall with his head up.I thought he was still alive and quickly took another shot. He ended up with two shots to the neck. He was dead after the first shot and my sons razzed me for shooting twice.
It is not every year that I get the opportunity to hunt with my sons. They have their own families and it is not easy to get together. I started hunting with these boys over 25 years ago and they both enjoy hunting mule deer just like I do.
