Took this big Tom a few days ago on my property in north Idaho.
He's been eating everything on my mountain for the past 8 weeks. I had to wait for season to start.
I recognized a pattern he developed and he became complacent. He also wasn't afraid of me or my dogs.
I was waiting for him. 110 yards with a Armalite AR-10 (T) .308, 168 gr. He still ran 50 yards with no heart or lungs.
121 pounds of killing machine. I am 5'-10", 175 pounds for reference.

Woo. That's freaking awesome. Congratulations. 👍😎
 
I'm itching to add to this. I got a hell of a November set up. NM mule deer November, November Elk (buddies tag) in Montana and a SD deer tag. Back to back to back. Last hurrah before work pulls me back to the east coast. Soon soon
Which unit is your mule deer hunt? I may not be able to provide any helpful information, but good luck nonetheless!
 
2B. Life's been crazy so I havnt gotten out to scout. Going in blind but I have read a fair amount about the unit. I think I'll stay south to try and avoid the crowds.
