Local Mule Deer

I took this buck a couple of weeks ago close to home after watching him bed and then sneaking in and waiting 40 minutes for him to get up and stretch. I used my 7mm Mashburn and 145 grain Barnes LRX at 270 yds. The bullet broke the on shoulder and just missed bone on the offside and exited.

The bolt handle is on the wrong side of the rifle.

Left handed is where its at. We are in our right mind. Very nice buck, glad to hear you do not shoot it at 500-800 + yards like some people on the forum brag about.

Great buck, Muley's really are special.

Even the rocks don't last forever.
