MT FWP decided give the local whitetail population a break for a season, and sent me a mule deer permit for my backyard.

I had fun keeping a running thread of my goat tag last year, so I thought I'd do the same this year with the deer tag. As long as health and not drawing a moose tag allows, I should be able to get a ton of scouting in this summer, and can hopefully keep this thread full of buck pictures.

Right after hearing I drew in April, I made a quick run out to a couple areas and started seeing the first signs of new growth of the year.

Bear season got in the way for most of May, but this weekend I finally got back out to start looking over more deer.

Horn growth has been good this month, and I was able to locate what looked like mature bucks with potential.

Little guy-

Not sure what this guy had going on, but he was a miserable bugger. He kept kicking at the growth and shaking his head-

Looks like you will have a fun summer of scouting. Great pictures and will make sure I follow your posts for this. Good luck.
 
This shall help the summer pass hopefully! Can't wait to see that big buck on the dirt this fall.
 
So when should we all get our Colorado Buck costumes together?






I ask, as if I don't already have one under the bed. :cool:
 
I shot a buck in NE Montana about 8 years ago that had tumors like that all over it's face.

I took him by the fish and game office and they looked at it and said it was warts or something like that.

I ate him. So far so good.

Congrats on drawing the tag. Looking forward to the story unfolding.
