A month after the hunt, my guide, Red, recovered the mule deer that I shot in Utah. He texted me these photos last night.
He said that the coyotes had been enjoying it. It was found about 100 yards away from where Red and Eric jumped it up when tracking blood. It looked like the shot hit in the 5th rib which he thought would be liver.
So, somebody will get the lucky job of boiling this skull in order to make a European mount. If we hadn't been travelling the next morning, I suspect that we would have made a successful recovery. But at least I will have something to show for this hunt. As usual, my hunts have drama.
