oh there he comes oh yeah I mean he's just a beautiful typical mule dear I got
a place on the wall for that dear
hi I'm Guy Eastman your host and welcome to Eastman's hunting TV on today's
episode we're gonna travel to southwestern Wyoming in pursuit a trophy
mule deer bucks we're gonna be hunting with my dad Mike Eastman and his good
friend Wendell frauding now Mike and Wendell have been hunting this area
together for over 17 years now so a big buck has a pretty hard time hiding from
these guys when I showed up there the first time they did you know Wendell
those guys didn't know how to how to really judge deer other than spread or
whatever and and I kind of educated into it and you know how you know how to
really look at a deer and know how good it is and Wendell likes it to where
the last day of the season the last hour you pound a deer that I mean to him
that's really great till he likes the experience and he
wants us to have an experience and we have so much fun together we you know
it's the fam two families and they you know they and uh their family and our
family wait a whole year for us we go down there and they have a good old time
to the truth that wide one is a nice one but I like this one better
isn't this why I like I mean is about it's pretty for point you were ever
going to see do anything in the last five minutes
tangler sticking up there ya know you don't have to sell me on that dear he
has to show me that but cuz he knows he knows it's a good buck but he had
hunter's pass it up the buck is only 26 inches outside
it's looking right at us that is that is a good dear I'll bet you he's he's 180
and 180 is a big trophy mule deer in this day and age oh he's beautiful
that's about one of the prettiest mule deer points I've ever seen so we're gonna
look around a little bit more Wendell wants to poke around here but this buck
stays right in here and we might be we'll probably be back hunting him I got a
place on a wall for that deer
now the guys have returned the next morning with high hopes of finding the
buck again well folks I saw this buck yesterday and he is a dandy he's not
very wide but he is the most beautiful four point and you can ever see typical
doesn't have any junk on and I tell you what we're gonna do is make a circle and
go around he's just below these Quakers by a dead tree feeding he was there
yesterday and so I'm gonna slip over there
pop out he's going to be about 300 yards we figure and he doesn't even know we're
around got to win with us and try to well try to get this buck so hang on
we're going on the stalk I see what we get here
just doesn't even knowing there the sagebrush kind of hides me he's too busy
eating
I got to wait until he stops feeding he's broadside about 315 I
ranged it
there he is
hoho
look at how his main beams curl around and look at these eye guards we there's
five and a half inches he's heavy you know beautiful buck me and Wendell
the old man's do it again we saw this bucket of opening day but Wendell had
seen our we were looking for a buck that had some cheaters so we kind of he'd
been in here so we kind of passed him up first day of the hunt today you know I
can't even then when I saw him the first time I said Wendell that's one heck of a
good mule dear we walked up to him after I harvested and he had three big long
points off his berth and you know those are scorable points holy cool my never
see those so anyway we scored him scoring about 197 and 7/8 gross
I said Wendell this isn't right score him again
so we scored him again you know we beam we have Nate there doing the scoring
window right sit down I hover over everybody making sure it's done right
all right comes up with the same score I go holy smokes 197 and 7/8 gross a funny
thing is we come back to the office so we threw these deer dynamic guy goes and
I said geez look at this buck Guy even said to what I did yeah that's one
180 deer I said that's a really nice handsome 188 187 buck but I've never
seen eye guards like that on a mule deer before yeah cool
197 seven eight I thought it was your hover factor over the scoring system
that gave you the extra ten inches when you told me
197 I had to believe it for myself the odd Roger come in so Roger came down
who's boone and crockett scoring his I said Roger score this buck for him okay
I just gross you know we locked Mike in a back room so there's no hover factor
and let Roger had Roger score it scored it 197 at seven eight
it's mainframe gross one 192 is the big buck no one wants big buck nobody why
except me oddball screwball careful careful
yourself a hundred and sixty years
what a beautiful buck I mean we did it again Wendell 16 years of hunting together
