Congrats Oak. Nice looking muley. Let's hear about the pack.

 

[Oak]

The pack out wasn't really that bad, I'm just a wimp. I had to take him up that hill behind me, about 550 yards and 600 feet in elevation gain. Then down the other side, through a small valley and up the opposite side to the truck. I packed him in 2 loads (once again, because I'm a wimp) and stashed one at the top of the first hill to retrieve the next morning, as I got back to the truck with the first load at about 7:45.

Nice deer Oak. Whats next?

Elk in Colorado this weekend. Was going to go back up and try to get a bull in WY this week, but decided to be responsibly domestic instead. I might go up in Nov. or Dec. for a cow.

Nice buck. What's he rubbing on in that stuff to get that color on his antlers?

I'm not sure, but that hillside was primarily mountain mahogany. I'm assuming that's what it was. I've killed a couple of other really dark-antlered bucks in similar habitat.

Thanks for the comments.
