After days of false stalks and frustrating wind and rain filled evenings we finally got a break and just days before I left for moose camp Sandi and I were set up on large canola field in the blind hoping the nice buck we had put to bed there days ago was still holding to his pattern. We got in early, hours before when we thought the bucks would make an appearance and yet had barely settled into the blind when the big buck wandered out into the field. Mule deer are strange creatures, he feed for twenty minutes at 300 to 400 yards distance and then turning towards us walked to almost 250 yards and bedded down in the open swathed and combined field! We watched him sleep for hours and when he stood again Sandi said "I'm taking him." I said "OK, but make sure you anchor him that coolie is very deep and you will have a tough pack getting him out of there." The 155 grain Berger bullet from her 308 Icon flipped his switched so fast his jaw slammed into the dirt when he fell.
