We've visited Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge many times over the last several years but it has always taken a back seat (for us) to chasing elk. We got some incredible video footage of Slingshot back in 2020 the year he earned his nickname with the "slingshot" nontypical point coming off his left antler.
Since 2020 he has regressed a bit and you can tell the 2023 fall footage of his shows his size and the nontypical points that are sprouting up all over as a result of his age. He's still an impressive buck but he's getting smaller as he gets older.
We're going to be hosting a couple photography workshops in 2024 at RMA one to photograph these large mule deer bucks in full velvet and another to photograph them in November during the peak rut. You can find out more information about these workshops here:

These tours will use limited access permits through the wildlife refuge to allow us to get into areas otherwise closed to the public. All of the clips you see from the Fall 2023 in this video are from those limited access areas. You can even see other vehicles driving along far from the action in the publicly accessible locations of the refuge which we'll also be able to access during these workshops.
