A Successful Mule Deer Hunt

This week was Justin and Jaylon's mule deer hunt.  Thankfully they both tagged out within the first 6 hours of hunting!  Lots of yummy deer jerky is going to be in the making now!

Jaylon glassed a herd just as the sun came up.  They snuck through two miles of grass and mesquite bushes where Jaylon shot his deer and then ten minutes later Justin shot his in the same area.

 This was Justin's first mule deer hunt!  His buck scored 160!  
Some friends of ours have a taxidermy business so they are mounting it for him.

 Justin's heart shot.

Skinning out Justin's deer.

We finished butchering and had all the meat from both deer packaged by that evening!  
Thank you Lord for another successful hunt and freezers full of deer meat!

Yucky to look at but yummy to eat. Great shooting! The word glassing is new to me. Definition?

Glassing generally means using binoculars or scope to look for game. I never heard the term before moving out here either! :)
