Here we go. Welcome back to the beautiful and always satisfying great outdoors everybody. We got an awesome video for you today. Mule deer hunting in Colorado. Something I've never done before. I've done some elk hunting up here in Colorado. I've always seen mule deer, always been interested in it. And finally I got an invite to go on a hunt with my buddy Mulletman and Outlaw. So we're up here with those guys this week. And yeah, we got on some bucks. Speaking of bucks, bucks.com guys, go to bucks.com.

And I've got one, I've got a rifle that I've been wanting to use for a couple years now since I used it in the SIG Hunter games. And it's the SIG Cross Rifle. And it's in 6'5 Creedmore, which is not my favorite round. And I know some of you may not love this round. But I want to see what it will do on a mule deer when placed in the right spot, if I can do that. And it was my first time flying with a rifle. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Any of you that are curious, I know, probably traveling to other states, I want to show you how I packed my rifle case because I was told it was the best they had seen in a long time. Hard case. You got to have a hard case. It's a Pelican Vault. So I have four lock holes. I have a lock on every single one of them. And I got some master locks. These are not the TSA locks. They're standard master locks that I have one key for. And I carry a spare as well. Went into the airport with it unlocked. Each airport was different. So I was able to go in and kind of show them myself, other airports. They didn't want me to touch it. That whole thing is kind of different. But go with it. Unlock that way. They can look at it. Or you can show them. And I've got a soft case inside of here. And I've also filled as much space as I can with things so nothing is rattling around. Over here I put my Bino Hornets. You know, extra clothes, hats that can be filled. I put my kill kit in here with my knives and ammunition. Very important. The original box, that was approved everywhere. I flew American. So they preferred this. But anything that is going to hold the ammo where it doesn't move at all, doesn't rattle around. I did not go to the kiosk. I went straight to the service desk. You'll have to fill out a sheet of paper that says that your firearm is unloaded. And since this is a bolt action rifle, I went ahead and I took the bolt out. Magazine is out. Totally unloaded. Ammunition separate from the magazine. Kept my magazine and my little bipod right up here up top. So everything separated. I just made sure to fill as much space as I could. Make sure nothing was going to move around. And of course safety on the soft case inside of the hard case. Filling it up. Ended up being about 37 pounds. So perfect weight to travel with. And it helped me save some room on traveling with my other luggage. So that is how I traveled with mine. Again, double check with each airline. But this, they definitely approved. So great travel experience with the rifle. I was a little paranoid about that to be honest. But everything went great. Outlaw picked me up from the airport. We drove into the mountains. And we get a call from mullet man. He said, guys, there's, it's been tough. We have not been seeing deer in the last couple of days. There are some decent bucks out in the fields. You need to get here right now. Unload and get your tag and let's go. And that's exactly what we did. But we came in the hunting video that quick guys. We got to spice this thing up a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Get that watch time up. So let me take you through the muck and the grind that happened on the second day trying to get mullet man a mono buck first. It is a drizzly miserable morning right now. It's not cold enough to snow. It's just cold enough to not be snow. So we're sliding around in the ATVs right now. Getting up into some spots where we can do some glassing. And it's Mike's turn today. It's Mike's turn. So basically just going to be helping him spot and trying to get a big, big old mullet out here. And the sagebrush canyons. It doesn't make our mule here nipple hard. Outlaw. Yep. How you doing guys? Man you're so camo'd up. I can't even see you. I know. You threw that ISO up. Nah, I like it dark. I like to set the mood in the morning. I don't know. We'll see if the big mullet is going to play or not today. Without it. It would be nice just to have some dry weather we can sit on a little glass pad. And see those majestic monsters out there. I know it's a little foggy as you can see behind us too. It's going to make it hard for glass. And hopefully it blows over in the next hour or so. And look, it's snow. We're so high that it's starting to snow. Oh it is starting to snow. Yep. Wow. We'll even get a little white blanket. A slush mix. We did come up high enough. It's going to start to snow at some point. We out here. We out here in it. Into snow. Is that an adventure? Shut up. We're probably a thousand feet higher than we are now. Yeah, now it's turned back wet. Slush. It's hard because I can't even get the camera out. Everything's just soaked. It's going to be raining up here. I didn't even bring rain here. There are dirt deer everywhere. Everywhere out here. Oh, it's a tall dude. Is that good? Oh my gosh, he's almost touching. Yeah. He's cool. He's like, don't get away from me. This buck right here got two good brown times. That's a pretty good buck. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I just saw another buck. No, he's coming back down. Behind the two boys? No, that was him. It looks like he's wearing a hat. They are everywhere right here. Muleys running hard right here. This is good. I'm trying to find a big boy. How big are you looking for? 180 plus. 180 plus. Booty Crockett. A Booner. A Booty Crockett, what are you eating the way Mike and I measure? Yeah, that's debatable. Round 14 out here with snow. We're in the lowlands. We've come back down. And deer are starting to move. Deer are definitely starting to move. We've got a couple bucks on the spotting scope. I'm seeing a lot of does, but we're seeing them low, which is good. They're starting to come out. Seen a lot of like 130, 140 inch bucks. Looking for that old Roman nose big boy. You got a couple deer? Yeah, way up top. Oh, up top? I got two does and I'm looking back towards the juni. They're definitely playing hard to get today. We're going to give them another look with the scope. Finally stopped training. He's got a collar on? He's got a collar. It looks like a freaking cowbell. That's Fido. That's old Fido. He's got his collar on. Look at all the hunters right there. Yeah, there's another hunter. All in the side by side. You see all the ones? Yeah. They're looking at him right now. Yep. Orange vests looking at the same deer. It's the way she blows. You guys can't see this far. Just noticed some other hunters looking at the same deer. Dude, serious rutting going on. Dude, I got the sneak up on him and shooting with the self. Look at him sniffing right now. Full sneak sniff right now. Got to Levitz. Getting closer. So the day ended with no deer bucks and was probably one of the colder wetter days I've spent in the outdoors. Woke up in the morning. It was kind of, I mean it wasn't cold. It was like in the in the 40s. It was just a little bit of drizzle and I was like, I don't know if I want to bring my thermals and all this stuff. I wanted to pack light. Didn't and paid for it the rest of the day. Got absolutely soaked. Just one of those chilled to the bone, wet, colds that just never leaves you. But what happened next was just absolutely, what were you doing back there? Are you drinking Blanton's this early in the morning? So what happens next? It never happens. You go out there and everything is right with the world. Weather beautiful. Bucks are sniffing everywhere and it goes down with the devil. Me and Mike's dad. So check this out. Literally just got in an hour ago. Got the tag and we're spotting deer already. You got him senior? Yup. Well man, what are you seeing? I see a nice buck. I actually glassed this deer up this morning knowing that Justin was looking for any good mature buck. He's never shot a mule deer before. Never shot a mule deer before and this is a great 4x4. It's an awesome deer. He's probably like one high 150s, 160s. Yeah, what's up with that? What's up with what? Just his bag. Yeah, he's good. But look at his face. Come here Justin, look at this. He's old or he's mature. Yes. He's a good one. Out of doubt dude. Out of doubt. Dude, I'm all about it. He's got that tail flake. He's feeling confident right now. He's got a couple of does around. I'm feeling good. He got my pros around. Let's go get it done. Let's make a stalk, boys. Two more bucks spotted. One bigger. Got Mike's dad, Mike's senior here. And I think me and him are going to try to delve down. Possibly. One of these two bucks that are out in this field. Really nice bucks. I'm not picky at all. So, just got to figure out how to make a little stalk. A little closer. They're like 600 yards right now. It's a little poke. All right, seniors going in to make a stalk. There's a mule deer up in there. That bull pasture. Finally, six days. God, Mike. That is a model. Man. About 300, we're getting a little bit closer. Two, four, you want to find him too? He suffers. All right, he's facing away from here right now. He's facing away from here. Tell me when you're about to shoot them anymore. So, hold on. He's moving. Hold on. Let me reposition. Just go behind that cedar. You got him? Yeah, but he's behind the cedar tree. I'm a little cedar right now. I'm just waiting for him to step out. How much time we got left for life, for video? For good. No, no, just trigger so slow. I'm so zoomed in on you. Yeah, I'm going to wait until he turns. Are you good right there? Good right here. Ready, boys? Hold on. He's moving. He's moving. I'm going to wait until he stops. Hold on. I'm not on him. On him good. You on? He ran right, but I lost him. He's up and over. He went up and over. I hit him good. Oh, you smoked. Oh, he's down. He's down. He's down? Yeah. Yeah, boys. That's two bucks and 20 minutes. That's awesome. Yeah, man. Look at the shot. Beautiful buck, dude. Beautiful white face. Mike was filming this on his spotting scope. We can really see it good. Oh, God, smoked him. Did not put him down with the creed more though. He's down. How he's down? Oh, he dropped. Is he down? Is he down? My first mule deer guys. Oh my gosh, man. Literally got off the airplane. Jared picked me up. Just came out here. Got it done the first evening. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Unbugged down. Let's go look at the other one. My first ever mule deer buck. Yes. Son, yeah. First mule buck. Gotta get spread. First Colorado deer. Dude, this is a big old deer. Look at the head on that. Dude, mature buck. Awesome. Absolutely drilled him too. Dude, he stinks. He's got that rut must on him. I love it. I normally sniff the fish. I'm not going to sniff him, though. Sniff his tarsal. Dude, that is awesome. Let's tag him and bag him, baby. Tag him and bag him. Two down and one night. Let's go. He's huge. Look at that neck, dude. He looks like short and squatty neck. That's an old boy. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my first mule deer hunt ever. And, hey, you know what? That six-five did a pretty good job. Didn't drop that mule deer buck like I was hoping. I was actually aiming a little bit higher on the shoulder. Trying to get that high shoulder shot. Usually just drops them with my 308 and other calibers, but did not go far. Did not go far. So take that for what you will, guys. Take that for what you will. Six-five. Still get her done on the old mule deer. And it's always awesome to just get a big, mature animal. Gonna get a ton of meat off this guy. You know, it was a good time to take him. He was in his prime. Great time to take that animal. And I want to come do this again. Mule deer in the rut is awesome. Whitetail in the rut is really amazing. I still, I think, whitetail bow hunting is, that's it for me. That's like the thing I enjoy the most. This right here, though, hunting with a party, a group, everybody's glassing, trying to find that next buck that's gonna come out. It was really awesome experience. And I love the wide open spaces of Colorado and the mountains. You can't beat the view. So thank you guys for watching my first mule deer hunt ever. Don't forget to visit bucks.com.
