Mert’s first mule deer — and he put the work in! 10 hard miles hiking through blowdown the day he killed it, and 8 more miles packing it out the next day. This kid is something else! He had so much fun, and “Uncle Derek” even let him shoot it with his rifle! Such a cool hunt with help from so many people — @eric_vanderzanden and @nick_schmit5 for the pointers on where to go, @dmuellerr for letting Mert use his rifle, and @daltonjharum for helping pack it out! It’s amazing having so many killers around who are always willing to help out.
