to the wyoming mule deer migration initiative and the conservation of mule deer that's him
looking right at us isn't it that's him bouncing him right there see him right there the last
one last one he's crossing the road right now
let's see what we all got here we got a whole bunch of stuff
too high yeah two inches high just barely to the right
oh for a second [ __ ] rain engine
yeah he could be bigger than 170 I don't know i'd like to see him look at us
really got good backs
i think he's better than that i think he's a 180 you think so yeah i think he's 180.
yeah now i look at him he's really got real good backs i can't do it yeah can you it's
better than what you think it's because he has no outstanding feature he just he's got
everything he's got really nice back tangs that branch low he's got a main beam see how
it slopes around and curls around he's just you know he's got really nice eye guards there's
another kicker on the side of the right side i don't think so i don't see and he's he's
relatively heavy not super heavy but he's not thin horn he's just a really pretty buck
i think he's you know a 180 he's got probably 23 24 inch main beams maybe 18.
that's a big knife oh yeah he's a four or five-year-old deer yeah
yeah well catalog him yeah catalog him yeah that's what we'll do
probably 31 23-inch main beams with all that junk yeah right right there he's probably
180 he's not real heavy but do you think we should shoot him no i think we should look
oh it's getting too dark
did you get a good look at him yeah yeah yeah yeah
when I saw that it paralleled i was like that's that's the buck
that's the buck
he's facing away looking away
he looks like a three-point was probably saved his butt a lot because those those points
parallel but that his g g4 is like that
yeah we're gonna hold out to morning it just got too dark on us we don't want to push it
it's just not worth it
and almost
that's him looking right at us in it dad that's him
that's him looking right at us isn't dad
that's him
that's him right there the last one see him right there last one okay
he's crossing the road right now i can't see him
come easy and come up
right there
gotta go around
you saw em no he was moving
he was moving we'll get a better shot
it's too far 420 yards
how are you going to get closer what are they doing
they're just feeding up through there
i think go up this way or up around this way
250 yards he's facing uphill into the right feed
we got all the time in the world just catch your breath
250 yards
right there
you hit em hit em
there's blood here yeah and i think i shot well
look at your blood all over this rock look at that oh there's chunks so this is where he was standing the last
right here holy bucket look at all this blood there's still chunks and stuff
congratulations it's over with nice one good going oh geez look at where he went
he didn't go far did no
well i was worried he was going to be down in this canyon well yeah and that wasn't going to be fun
first belly buck yeah yeah he a little battler look at his ears all tore up congratulations mike yeah that's awesome good spike guys
geez we found this buck last night
and you had the opportunity but it just got dark on us we just couldn't get it to happen
and he he was surrounded by bucks seemed like those bucks didn't want to leave him alone no
and then we got on him this morning right away and then he gave us a slip
i am tickled he's probably got 20 inch back ties yeah this one might be longer than that yeah
22 23. so he has a beaut and he's got some mass oh man yeah his bases i mean look how his hair's poofed up like that
i couldn't i asked for a nicer buck
so this is the hunt that the eastman's donated to the mule deer foundation
they auctioned this hunt off at the hunt expo in salt lake last year and mike here was the uh the highest bidder
and when you get a chance to donate to a great cause and get the hunt with the eastmans
it couldn't get any better it's worth the money right right
this money goes directly to mule deer migration initiative
what that is is it's the corridors in wyoming
that are very important to the mule deer migration
and that is building highways building fences building overpasses so that these mule deer are less affected by the by the human element
they have a hard winter every winter and the less that we affect it the better off it is
we're doing a documentary called the mule deer imperiled
it's on youtube my outdoor tv as well as the outdoor channel
so check it out you can see exactly how important these mule deer migration corridors are
and what actually one of the first times in history we're being able to put money on the ground and it's making improvements
it's actually doing something
thanks for watching eastmans and remember fair chase is the only way to
hunt and take trophy big game we'll see you next time right here on eastmans
oh my gosh look at those g2s
they got to be 18 inches that's what he was saying he might be even more oh wow
unbelievable i'm happy you know it's hard to find an area that you can hunt with a rifle and take a velvet mule deer
because they're usually out
down here in colorado they keep it on longer than they do up in wyoming
yeah so it's uh just like their ruts later this one was uh you give him another four days he would have that off
i'm tickled everybody else is tickled well i'm tickled yeah
