deer for this year. It was a 33 yard shot at 5:08 pm. This is my 1st doe since 2016.
It was a good shot but it was a determined deer. We had to track it for over 400 yards.

My 4th hunting trip to Nebraska and I finally got a Nebraska Mule deer. Nov 12,
2022 (opening day), it will be a day I will never forget. The buck I got we spotted 1200
yards away. We stalked towards it for about 624 yards as it was working it's way our way
for about 500 plus yards. Losing sight of it behind a hill, I found a spot and patiently
waited for it to pop up over a hill. I took a 82 yard shot and it was down at 10:31 am.
My buck went down plowing it's nose into the ground right here: 41.898542, -100.485718.

I shot it from a ground blind.
You can't see them, but it is a nubbin buck and tagged it with an antlerless license.
View the game camera picture below with her crossbow. This is the woods I shot it in.

This is my 4th season of hunting and it felt like a long time coming.
This is my 2nd season with my crossbow. I only use my crossbow during
the early anterless season and regular firearm season.

It might not be a big buck, but it was definitely well worth the 15 minute
wait for this deer to come out from behind a tree.

My first out of state hunt in Nebraska 2015.
Wish I would have gotten one.
Seen plenty of mule deer, but it just didn't happen.
