Jicarilla Mule Deer

The Jicarilla in New Mexico is located on the Apache Nation and is well known for world class mule deer hunting. We join Chad Nuckles as he searches high and low for a buck worthy of this honored tag.

That other big typical on day one was bigger, but the hunting and seeing big deer everyday is pretty sweet.

[@meholandd]

I agree, The big typical that walked across that little ridge behind the little 3x3 was a great buck. But heck to have the opportunity to hunt an area like that, geez man what a dream.

[@lnaesll]

Lolllll just went and look at the prices. 20k dollars for a mule deer. Yea no thanks.

[@irinvigil8964]

He have the best 200 an up bucks scored here but it’s your lost an your money

[@TsiRoadkill]

Score?

[@Aerosith]

Bro just literally passed a clean 200" typical just to shoot a smaller one... face palm

[@marke.8334]

If you all haven't seen a documentary called.... It's worse than you think.... My Revelations of Jesus Christ ministries, I suggest you do.... all praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ

[@warren3665]

They screwed up not shooting that first buck. I doubt that buck they got will go 185.

[@bobmiller6708]

They only screwed up if the definition of a successful hunt is determined by the score of a deer.I have shot deer over 200. If I see a deer that does it for me , its score is non issue. The guide is spot on. A trophy is determined by the hunter.

[@jameswhiteman7194]

The buck thought you were gonna feed him.... Smh

[@bobmiller6708]

He did feed him. A metallic supplement.

[@pagosalinepumper4509]

20000 for a 178 180 inch buck passed a 200 typical with a kicker and big brows ouch cool experience but I live 30 miles from there 170 plus is a very common thing even on public go back and kill a hog

[@jeremyvigil4138]

Yup we have a tag in 5a we went out tgere n saw huge mules on public. Only thing is the pressure was on when we went.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Great, I just drooled all over my phone. Just kidding! I’ve been to the Jic and it’s a truly special and awesome place! Great hunt and buck!

[@codyvalverde8581]

More than 30k for one buck. Got to be out of your mind

What a great beautiful buck! Probably the most amazing and beautiful mule buck's and also does in the whole country. I think the only place that might compare is western Wyoming. But New Mexico is still the absolute pinnacle of big game hunting. If it's not the jicarilla mule then it is northern New Mexico elk.

[@Warmspringsrezbuck]

What did that tag cost you if you don’t mind me asking?

[@Thomas120952]

Tag is $17,500 plus whatever the guide charges.

[@steverayevich1436]

Couple of the other bucks were bigger pretty amazing hunt though

[@davida.4933]

I shoot bigger mulies on public land at avg. shot distance of 20 yds. with recurve/longbow (check my videos). Get close with range limited weapons, you can do it!.

[@josephstollsteimer1556]

Beautiful buck congratulations. Can you shed hunt that area?

[@botwtv]

Good question - not sure but if so it'd be a good place!

[@irinvigil8964]

Yea just tribal members can shed hunt here sorry

[@josephstollsteimer1556]

@@irinvigil8964 I'm sure you find some nice sheds

[@justinb8739]

What tri-pod is that, anyone??????

[@herberttsosie509]

That was a good trophy hunt

[@righttouchtileable]

Beautiful

[@henrycordova4103]

Nice

[@deerloversheridan3038]

Looks like you drove the truck cross country right to it.

[@rockhunter6260]

Great buck Chad👍🏻

[@jessicacorral1375]

Oh yeah that mule deer sure is worth every bit of $17,000

[@markgelk]

canned hunt

[@dennisgriffin6742]

Lol....no it isn't.

[@chadnuckles1691]

Hey deerlover sheridan, I’m guessing by the name you’re a hunter. We are all left to assume you leave your four-wheel-drive truck at home during hunting season and ride your horse!! Or because you stopped the truck a few miles sooner makes you somehow superior. Happy hunting.......
