Wyoming Archery Mule Deer Hunt
My first morning out this year found myself on a vantage point I'd been to many times in the past, picking apart the sagebrush and rocks in an attempt to find the greatest western iconic trophy, the mule deer. It was not long before I started to find a few decent bucks that needed a closer evaluation.
