my son Guy and they're looking for a decent mule deer the rut has just
barely started coming on if you notice this buck in the front here he's blown
off one of his back tangs now you know Montana is huge that's why
they call it the Big Sky Country and in this particular area this habitat for
mule deer is perfect you'll sort through noodles and oodles of mule deer
bucks looking for the right one and that's what's guys doing right here
they're looking a lot of bucks over this country is just perfect to find a good
trophy mule deer what you got to do is get in the position where you can sit
with your spotting scope and binoculars and glass a huge amount of country you
can't drive it all you can't walk it all so what you have to do is use your
binoculars and your optics to look it all over finally the second day of their
hunt Guy and Tom find this really respectable meal do you know he's with a
doe here and they're able to film and watch this buck for 20 minutes sizing
him up making sure that it's the buck that Guy really wants you know Tom found
the buck you notice here tom is all padded up here with a spotting scope and
looking a lot of country over and he was able to look across there and see this
buck this buck is probably 26 inches wide you notice he's really high back
tangs he's a pretty good deer and he's with this doe also there's a littler
buck this bellow him that gives him a little trouble Tom says come on up
here Guy I want you to look this buck see what you think
the Guy eases on up there
and look across and look at that buck now watch this bigger buck run this
little one off here so the rut is just starting to come on here
there he goes after him watch out it didn't take guy long the size a buck
up and say hey Tom I think I really like to take this buck
but you notice he takes a dead rest takes his time what a shot he hits him
right behind the shoulder and that buck is dead right here doesn't know what hit
him let's look at that in slow motion and
watch that bullet travel right across there isn't that unbelievable
alright we got him let's go take a look
boy Tom you know hunting these bucks in the rut like this can be really exciting
and we saw a lot of bucks today their fines starting to get into the rut and
move around last couple days last couple days every day you can see more and more
folks go on and it's getting more and more exciting all the time these are
some of my high country mule deer bucks and and they're fun to hunt we seen some
excellent bucks over the last couple days this was a great job on this deer
here beautiful deer we watched him for over a half hour this barn before we
decided to take the shot on an excellent shot yeah that was that was
a great stalk and kill on this buck it's five ham for almost almost a mile and a
half over there yeah great in this little bowl rutting this doe he run her
