2 HIGH COUNTRY MULE DEER BUCKS on the Last Day
Рет қаралды 108,329
4 жыл бұрынTwo BIG high country mule deer bucks for Erik and Ty on the last day of the general season!
Erik heads in a day earlier and gets caught in the middle of a nasty snowstorm.
Erik finally manages to start a fire, dry out his gear, and otherwise brave the weather system and keep hunting. He hikes into the once-green summer basin that now feels like an icy ghost town only to find it is a ghost town.
Watch as the two struggle but ultimately triumph with two absolute stud bucks on this the last day of the season.

That was a great way to end your hunt,! I shot my 190 buck several years back when I could still hike like you guys 7 miles back in, Keep going as long as your health will allow you to, best times of our lives!

That's so badass my brother and I had the same kind of scenario a couple years back on our rifle deer.. we dumped into the hell hole after watching a buck for 2 hours in the morning bedded he stood up I took him.. we packed him out, took care of the meat then dropped back in, in the afternoon and we located the biggest buck we put to bed the night before.. my brother took him.. we packed out 2 deer, 1 day, out of one of those famous hell holes us as hunters all decided to drop in to... was a hunt I wont ever forget!!

It's awesome that you guys showed a little more of the real frustration and heartbreak that comes with DIY hunting trips. Not everybody bags a trophy every time but you stuck with it and came back for more even when the odds were stacked against you with the weather.
@MuleyFreak 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words. The reality is that this is public land. Things can and will go wrong. Add the elements of the high country and it's extremely difficult - especially with a bow. Ultimately, for us, it's about having fun, learning, and getting better. We try to work hard and never give up. Live by those things and it will get you further in life. At least in our opinion. Thanks for watching, Kevin. We wish you the best of luck in 2020!
@kevinmclaughlin9796 4 жыл бұрын
I was able to take my first public land Muley here in Oklahoma on opening day of the 2019 black powder season. I would not have even attempted it with a bow just yet without know the terrain or the habits of those animals. I had planned a three day hunt but with the plan that the first killable buck to step in range was going to be the one I took home. Everything came together just before sunset and I ended up getting a 5x6 who was tailing a group of does.
