Powder River Mule Deer

Thanksgiving weekend means hunting in my house hold. This year, we met my cousin Jason from Iowa in Broadus to hunt Mule Deer on the Powder River. There are lots of deer and lots of public land. The Block Management areas are up to 50 sections large! Its Montana, we found deer. Thousands of them. We passed up quite a few bucks waiting for a hog but eventually settled for delicious freezer bucks. Jason got a nicer one that he put on the wall.

Sad but the way she goes. Sure, this is a direct result of agriculture but the benefit of farm and ranch ground for wildlife greatly outweighs negative consequences like this.

My jerky for the year. I wasnt really planning on shooting a small buck but this guy ran up and started sniffing the butt of Jason's recently shot and killed buck so I tipped him over too.
