Ok.. up front i have got away from hunting mule deer for the excitment of chasing the couse,,,, well i think that all might change after my Archery hunt 2 weeks ago in Arizona... not the strip where big muleys are know... but the Whitemountian of AZ..
My wife and i drew the same hunts only different units AHH ok no big deal. so i was with our son in-law who has never hunted in his life he was visiting fron Canada, he is from England. any way to make a long story short i was found this small 2 point and had decided to take him if i could get a shot and be done so i could hunt harded with my wife on her hunt in Oct... well this buck was laying down about 15 yds from this 2 point ant stood up after i took a shot... WOW i goe excited but he was on to us so we left the area for about a hour or so and ended uo above wher we had jumped him.. We walked down a bit and i was glassing the forrest floor and man ther he was bedded down about 85 yds from me ... Wind in my face i started the stalk got to about 65 yrds and ran out of any cover so i renged a bunch of trees that were 30 yds closer and thought if i can make it ther it would be about 35 40 yd shot... i got half way there he turned we had a stareing match... he turned back i took another step.... he turned again.. ok i thiught this is it if he turns away where i cant see his eyes then i am pulling back and letting it fly... he did i stepped to the right and pulled back he came to his feet and WACK...... wow what a lucky gut I am... found him about 60 yds down the hill...
