My New Mexico Muley Hunt

In 2020 I drew a New Mexico deer tag. I scouted for four days and hunted hard for five days. I found a really big buck while scouting, but I could not make it happen during the hunt. This year I drew a tag in northern New Mexico and hunted with my friend who lives in the area. We hunted really hard and backpacked all across the mountains. We saw a lot of does and a few small bucks, but nothing I wanted to shoot. Finally after 35 miles and 4 days we found a nice buck. I connected at 403 yards and I finally had my first NM muley.

Awesome! Great buck with a nice view
 
Way to stick with it until you found a deer you wanted. Sometimes I think the mental toughness is harder than the physical challenges.
