Thats why all the experts say not to stalk into a bedding area. Now that the genius hunter grabbed the deers antlers it wont bed down there anymore
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

That guy reminds me of the guy that thought grizzlies were his friends and got him and his girlfriend eaten. Just don’t understand why do it. Why stress the deer out.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

Mule deer are not white-tails. Dumb as a bag of hammers. Run queer too. Interesting! Not my experience with them at all actually harder for me to arrow a mule then WT.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

In Wypming. And the experiences I had were that Big Muley bucks were As hard to find and shoot as any Backhome whitetail buck.

I grabbed a whitetail buck by the front leg one time. I guarantee you I won't do that again he kicked me so hard I thought it killed me. Makes for a great campfire story though. Whats the full story? Knocked out after shot and it came to?

Just watched a show last weekend were a guy and his 2 teenage sons were riding around in side by side 4 wheelers. They drove thru the mountainous terrain and looked over the mule deer bucks. About 25 in all. Then drove the same route and killed the one they wanted about 50 -60 yards from were they saw them earlier. Got out and walked around until they got a shot in the pine thickets or cedar what ever kind of thicket it was. Looked pretty dumb to me. I would compare it to me driving down the road for 10 miles then coming back and shooting the biggest cow standing out in some farmers field.... Thats not reality Might be on A high fence ranch... Youd never know if they film right and edit.

Quick story - several years ago my father shot twice opening morning of WI Deer hunting. I waited for things to settle down and wandered over there about an hour after he shot. He killed one and said he maybe hit the other so I started trailing it. No blood, no hair no nothing. The deer tracks went straight up a very tall bluff in wstern WI so I would go several feet and then rest to catch my breath as I was dressed for sitting. It was also a brutal cold day. Anyway I finally got to the top of the bluff and there was a small patch of weeds about the size of a bathtub which the sun was shining on. My eyes locked on this weed patch and there was the deer totally laid out looking dead. I walked over and was standing over it when I noticed the chest cavity was moving with each inhalation! I dispatched it.
No bullet holes from my Father so I apparently I stalked a sleeping deer right into his bed.
