Brian tells us that this is one of many deer of this size that he has taken within 300 yards of this great spot to hunt deer. He dispatched the buck from a distance of just under 30 yards with his bow. The mule deer had a rack measuring 27 1/2 inches wide and 19 inches tall. Brian also tells us the picture doesn't do justice to the size of the buck, it weighed in at 263 pounds. (And he didn't even volunteer a hint about his great spot!)
