Just had a kid, so I don't have much time - wanted to share a couple...
Opening Day of Rifle Season... Watched the sun come up sitting on the edge of a 7,000 ft peak - saw a couple small bucks, 5 bears (one monster) and a frickin huge cougar (might have got him on video), and didn't shoot a thing... great day to start the season!!!

The &quot;Timex&quot; Buck...(excuse my rambling) I stalked this little muley on the ground with my bow, but due to lack of practice time, hit him back and high from 25 yards <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>...yep, I'm useless but very stubborn...let him sit for 2 hours...tracked him across a river and back, (lost him for an hour) spotted him, head down, but when I got there, up he jumped.... down the river bank 1 mile...(lost him again)... through a field & forest (lost him - went back to the truck and told my partner he's gone)...went back for one last look...found him and pushed him back down the river bank to where we started...6 hours and three holes later...I caught up to him in the river, held his head under and said a prayer for the toughest little buck I've met... Soaked and exhausted... I'll never forget 'im!!! (Yeah I suck, but I haven't given up on one yet)<img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle>

Here's a couple pics...oh yeah, I also stumbled into a lil' muley with my rifle a week later (must be my new screaming 10 lb. good luck charm):


I'd rather be out there!!! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Mt^Boy; How is it that you shot two mule deer? One with bow and one with rifle. That is what it sounds like by your post.

Duffy, Yes, I shot one with my bow during the early archery season and one with my rifle in rifle season, one week later.
