This is my third archery season and I connected with my first mule buck on Friday. I put in a lot of time and had many failed stalks but eventually it all came together. Mules can be pretty clever and rarely stick around once they sense something is up, they aren’t getting any stupider and I’m not getting much smarter so I doubt it will get any easier.
I can’t imagine that now that I’ve harvested one buck I now know enough to easily do it year after year, I’m looking forward to blowing stalks next fall and likely eating tag soup more often than not.
The enjoyment for me is in the challenge, failure makes the successes sweeter.
