MT Public Land Mountain Buck

[Jake Larsen]

Found a good one! There's some big deer up north in this state, but I'm hooked on these old crusty mountain bucks. Sorry about the super crappy blurr out photos. Can't be too careful these days

Thanks! My thoughts exactly lol. But most guys around here are all about elk. They can have em haha. I put my time in archery for a bull, then it's all about the grey ghost for me

I've shot a bunch of elk and a lot of "jerky donors" over the years but have yet to get on a really good mulie buck. They truly are grey ghosts and they don't get big/old by being stupid!

They certainly take some dedication. I just enjoy hunting them a lot more than elk with a boom stick, so it's easy for me to get motivated and put in the work.

Nice buck! Good work.

This is me to a "T". I'd shoot a cow every year on archery opener for groceries. Then it's mountain mule deer time!

Northwest part of the state. Flathead valley.

That's tough country up there. Thick... Probably some big ones if you can find em though

It's is tough hunting. We've found a handful of dandy bucks over the years but locating and getting a good shot into a "solid" mountain buck is my goal. Every now and then a great buck turns up.

I have a hard time passing on good bucks like yours though, if all the other aspects of the hunt have fallen into place. Luck can be fun but the reward is in the pursuit and commitment. It's a year-round kind of thing for me - lots of glassing post season, shed hunting, cameras, summer scouting, etc.

I hear you... I chased 2 big bucks around this fall, saw them a couple times and never connected. Just couldn't pass this guy up when the opportunity presented itself. Was also just a dang fun hunt, at the end of a really fun hunting season. Picturesque place

Avatar photos on my phone show up super blurry anyways.... But that may be different on a desktop?

Nice work! Cool deer, I love our heavy mountain bucks.

I'm bummed the season's over, I never turned up a good one but saw a ton of cool deer. There's a few I hope make it through the season/winter.

Scouting season starts tomorrow!
