Nice Urban Buck

We now have a pretty healthy population of mule deer living exclusively within the city limits and there are some real dandys wandering the streets. Unfortunately, the up coming rut will be the demise of several, as they get too aggressive towards humans and have to be killed by state wardens. We have maybe a half dozen in this caliber living in Helena and plenty of smaller ones.

I think you could hang a stand on that pole in the background or use the garage as a ground blind.

Sadly, we have some wing-nuts that every year can't stand the temptation and end up sticking one of the big boys in the rump or something and they run around town with an arrow sticking out. Gives hunting a bad name for sure. These deer are as tame as it gets - I was standing not 15 yards from that big buck when I took the photo.

How do you explain "fair chase" with those things???

Nice bucks though!!

Not supposed to be any "chase", as hunting is not legal in town....that's why these bucks are getting some age to them and thus some great antlers.

They are beautiful creatures without a doubt, just not in their natural setting.
