Awhile back I posted on my recent deer hunting trip to Mexico. I hunted out in Sonora—mule deer and Coues country—and while I was anxious with the travel (especially with a rifle and ammo) I made it okay and enjoyed hunting in the desert for a week.

I saw this on the Virginia Whitetails Facebook page. Those guys are putting out one of the best state deer-hunting pages on social media: I'm sure many of y'all remember the monster 10-point piebald buck that Brandon Seward harvested in Wakefield on 12/2/13. Brandon got his mount back 2 weeks ago. Check out how amazing he looks mounted! Congrats on a dream buck Brandon! How many of y'all would love to harvest a mature piebald wall hanger? What cool photos, from trail cam to Brandon’s hero shot to the shoulder mount.
