there are still some good deer in utah. What area are you putting in for?
Moosie, I am about the same when it comes to mule deer. I have kiiled a couple that are ok. Last few years I have been archery hunting....Thats a killer. I have been after one deer in particular for 3 years now without success. I have passed on some really decent deer looking for the one im after. This year I hunted hard but never got an oportunity on the big one. Late in the season I decided I was just going to kill my first archery buck. As luck would have it, I was able to kill a deer with a bow. He is a 6x8 "6 inches tall and 8 inches wide" LOL Its true though. Just a spike, but, it was taken with a bow. For me, That was all I could ask for. I am actually still pretty proud. I have a 3yrs old and a 1.5 year old sons. They watch hunting flicks with me just about everyday with the outdoor channel. When I brought the deer home, I have never seen them more excited. I have some video and I would be happy to post some pics.
