Mule Deer

Date: 12/9/00

Weapon: 6mm

Distance: 50yds

Place: Iraan, Tx.

Scene: My third trip to hunt mule deer near Iraan, and the first day we were there, a cold norther was blowing. We were hunting out of the pick-up, of course, and just before dark, I spotted two deer, a doe and a fork-horn, going up the mountain to bed for the night. When we pulled up and parked where they had come out of the greasewood flats, I looked over my left shoulder and this boy was standing right there. I think he was waiting for us to go by so he could follow the other two. But no, I had to race to get my gun out and bust him as soon as I could get a steady aim. He's a beauty.
