Last Minute Buck

During my last morning out for Mule Deer, I had hunted all morning and was seeing mostly young bucks and does. I had met up with my hunting partner and discussed heading to the truck and going for a coffee. We had walked about 400 yards of the 2 mile hike when I decided to look in a small valley. This buck was bedded out of the wind for the day. After a short stalk I was within 20 yards of the buck and had to wait for him to stand up for a shot. A 30 yard shot and he was on the ground.
