First Western Hunt-Success

[shootist]

My brother and I did a DIY archery mule deer hunt in Southern WY. We had never hunted the west before. We saw some nice ones and we each shot a smallish buck. I'm sure neither of us will shoot deer this small on future hunts, but for our for DIY western hunt, we were thrilled.

cc23454,

I wasn't apologizing. We were both very happy with our bucks. I was just stating that now I got my feet wet, I would try to shoot larger bucks. I've been hunting whitetails since I was a little kid, but I am definitely a rookie when it comes to muleys. We had a blast!

Planning my own first mulie trip next fall, I would be proud to tag them with a rifle much less a bow! Way to go!

Archery hunting is hard enough as it is. The trophy is in the eye of the beholder. No need to apologize, I would be more than happy to harvest any buck in a zone I have never been to on an Archery hunt.

Congrats on being successful on your first western hunt. Those bucks sure look like they're in great body shape.

I bet they both eat real well
