king' s outdoor world - Hunting Illustrated April/May 2008 - Index

We - that is - I would never have
thought he was that wide. Nate, on
the other hand, had suspected he was
wider than we originally thought and
was giddy with excitement. Hunter
thought he was pretty cool, too.
We were a long way from
the truck and ended up spending
most of the day packing the buck
out. My dad and Hatch were excited
to fi nd out that I had gotten a deer,
but really surprised when we showed
them how big the buck was. Sierra
was just happy to see her momma.
With one day to hunt, we
made great use of it. Granted, it
did help to have one of the top mule
deer men in the hunting industry
“guiding” me. But, even if we hadn’t
gotten such a nice deer, it would have
been a fun, memorable hunt anyway
because I was able to experience it
with my wonderful husband, my dad
and my kids close by.
Watch for Vicki’s exciting Colorado
mule deer hunt in the soon-to-be
