Bitterroot Mule Deer 261/270

A friend of mine killed this buck in 2018 on Thanksgiving day. We hunted hard the entire season and honestly only saw maybe 2 deer bigger but one was on private and the other was crossing a ridge never to be seen again.View attachment 327636

Forgot to mention in 270 since the OP was asking about the bitterroot tags

Congrats on your tag! Great area, best of luck.

Strange.. Me and my buddy pulled the tag this year as well.. with the tag cut down to 10, half of the permit holders are here?

I also have a buddy who told me that his mother-in-law drew the 261 buck tag, seems like if there was only 10 tags I wouldn’t have heard about 6/10 people who drew it

That’s a stud buck, thanks for sharing! I am trying to not set my expectations to high and plan on going in with the mindset that finding a 180+ is very slim

I was fortunate enough to get a general deer and elk tag this year.

Edit: and a super tag chance.

You too!?!
