My first mule deer! And its from California! 28" 4x5. Took my brother with me as a pack mule. Good thing because this guy was a toad! I found him the day before the opener and he wasn't 100 yards from where he was on the opener! 430 yards 257wby. Passed on a couple other dandies as well. One of the pics is from the day before caught him snoozing in his bed. It's too bad I really wanted to explore my area more but I couldn't pass on him.

I'm hunting muleys in Utah in less than a month, I guess I have high expectations. Also have a controlled cow elk permit for Utah as well as a blacktail tag to fill plus my girlfriend has a tag to fill too! No need to buy any meat this year. Season has started off great!

Good luck to all

If this is your first mule deer (and you are a trophy hunter) then I would say that you've created a problem for yourself--you could hunt a l-o-n-g time without a chance at another buck as nice as this one!!
