Geez I think he's bigger than that. That's a lot of time length he has. I think I'd say bigger than 170.

I just returned from an unsuccessful Wyoming mule deer hunt that had me feeling pretty down. Hadn't had any whitetail bucks on camera at home either so I wasn't to pumped about the season. Opening day I got out to a pasture that I hunt about 15 minutes before sundown, had the wife and two kids with me as we had just finished feeding cows. I really figured I'd set a tripod up so I didn't have to set it up in the dark the next morning and that the kids would scare anything away as I don't use a blind just sit on the ground in a wide open pasture. I throw some cow feed out a little off the tree line about 330 yards away so if you stay fairly still nothing pays much attention. We got set up and not 10 minutes later a buck that I'd only seen from other people sending me pics jumped over the fence. 320 yards dropped and never took a step. Season over 2023 turned out way better than expected. Trail cam pic someone sent from 4 miles down river.

Which river are you hunting?

 

[Jwp2578]

@victor3ranger the North Canadian

 

[victor3ranger]

Very nice buck!
The Canadian River always looked like it could hold some big ones.
Hopefully soon you will have the elk coming down it

I actually had a little bull elk on camera last year. Hasn't been back though.

 

[JTComfort]

That's a buck. Well done.

They just seem to come through and not stay long.
We had a really good 6x6 two weeks ago but he vanished.
I saw him twice and the next day I heard a bunch of shooting just west of that area and haven't seen him since.
Pretty sure I know what happened
