Here are a couple pictures from the hunt my father & I had together this past weekend in Montana on a DIY hunt. The weather was a little chilly, winds were high, and we had to put on quite a few miles to finally start seeing the deer; but once we did, the long trek back in paid off. The deer were rutting like crazy and constantly on moving up & down the mountains. I took this guy on the 2nd day of my hunt at 162 yards. He weighed 316 lbs, and we had him gross scored at 182-5/8". I was the only one with a tag, so my dad was along just for fun. We had a blast, seen over 100+ mulies in 3 days.

The snow & cold temps really had the deer on the move. There was about 3"-4" of snow in majority of spots; some of the coulees and meadows had a couple more inches

Congrats! We just got back last night from SE Montana. Weather was crazy and so were the deer, rutting hard!

Awesome and unique buck, glad you got to enjoy it with your dad!
