Default First muley with a bow
Well, after 4 & a bit years of trying to harvest a mule deer buck with my bow I finally hit the sweet spot last weekend. saw him feeding his way into a coulée, and carefully snuck to where I saw him last and poked over the edge and he was 60 yds below me bedded down in the bottom. I got to 30 yds and took the shot, it was a bit far back but he still bled out, after waiting a while and calling my dad we made our way down to where I saw him last, and found him not 50 yards further. I couldn't be a happier bowhunter right now and I really appreciate my dad getting me into bow hunting at an early age, it sure paid off. Let's hear se guesses on what y'all think he'll score?

Awesome deer, you really set the bar high for yourself for the future! I think he will be right around 190". Congrats!

I also managed to harvest an antelope with my bow 4 days before that, he's not huge and I missed a few nicer ones due to my rangefinder dying on the first morning, but again my first antelope with a bow and I couldn't be happier with it
