Successful Mule Deer Hunt

This is the buck I got on Tuesday morning. It is a really nice buck! It is 25 1/2 inches wide! Melanie actually pushed this buck out of the brush and it ran towards me.
Our friend Andrew shot this buck the next morning. He is a nice buck too! It is Andrew's biggest buck so he was pretty excited!
Here is Melanie's buck that she got a couple hours after Andrew got his. She made an awesome shot from about 250 yards on this nice 5x5 buck!
