Submitted end of November, 232, and I'm also still waiting.
It was my first ever Mule Deer, and it was taken with a bow. The best part is my 1oyr old son and I did a stalk on him from 500+ yards down to 40 yards, and he walked 10 yards closer towards us as we were crouched down in a field. It was incredible experience. At this point I whispered to my son, "ok, this is it". I stood up and took the shot. He immediately said to me "Dad, its a good shot. its a good shot"! We tracked him and he got to witness his first archery animal up close and personal. We cant wait to do it again next year.
It was probably one of if not the single best day of hunting in my short 3 years. If my buck comes back positive, it will really put a damper on next years plans.
