Wide western muley for Craig Eckstein
Craig Eckstein of Covington killed this muley in September during a muzzleloader hunt out West. Here's what he wrote about the hunt:
"I had a two-hour hike every morning up to the Continental Divide. On the 3rd morning, this buck was standing at the very top, sky-lined with two other big bucks, right at dawn. had a split second to decide and shoot, and he was the widest rack and largest body. He did end up being wide, but to my surprise, he was only a 2x2 buck! Yes, as luck would have it, as the other bucks ran offf, I saw lots and lots of points sticking up! That's OK! It was my first velvet buck - he's going on the wall."
Not only is this a nice buck, but that view behind him looks pretty nice, huh?
