Way to go Jack!  Spot & stalk mule deer has to be one of the toughest, yet most exciting animals to bowhunt.
Congratulations!

I've hunted that area a couple times and to sneak up and arrow a Muley is not an easy task.  Hats off to you Jack.....what an incredible story!   :thumbsup:

Way to make the most of a situation. Nice shooting.
Quite the spot to hunt. Those open spaces look like a real challenge, no wonder you wanted to go back.

Hunterken,

There's lots of public land in North Dakota and few bow hunters.On our first trip we tent camped, hunted public land and never saw another hunter. This trip we were able to stay at a friend's house and mostly hunt their ranch land.

Steve,

Stop over anytime. My wife is gone on a cruise and I'm in charge of watching our 3 year old grandson during the week until she returns.    


A few more pictures of the North Dakota landscape.
