With hunting season in full swing, the 2010 Crush TV Colorado trip to Royal Mountain Adventures, Bailey, CO royalmountainadventures.com  made this man's dream come true...

 

Meet the "Fill Buck"(as appropriately named by Lee & Tiffany). Mark Fillback,  Fillback Automotive, http://www.fillback.com/Home/ ,  crushed this nice Colorado mule deer with his bow during a stalk.

Mark took this nice muley on the 2nd day of the mid-October 2010 hunt. He and his guide first spotted the deer in a milo field about 1000 yards away, but at the time he didn't look big enough, so they glassed elsewhere and saw a bigger muley but he refused to bed down. By then it was lunch time. On their way back Mark asked the guide to drive by the field one more time to see if the "Fill Buck" was still there. Sure enough, it was! They could still see his white rack in the dark milo tops. 

Mark never hunted a Mule deer with a bow and if this deer was at least a 150, he should at least make a practice stalk on him.  Mark got within 49 yards and waited an hour for him to get up. The "Fill Buck" got up and ran 400 yards and bedded down again. The stalk was on again, but this time Mark got within 17 yards. The shot was a little back, so they gave the buck some time, went back and crushed him. A hunter's dream. 

Congrats Mark on your first ever Mule deer stalk with a bow! 

Peace, Love & Venison
