Mule Deer Buck of a Lifetime

[DFS]

This guy got shot in the early 2000s. He was oldView attachment 382146

Until we get pictures of the 220’s maybe this should become an ugliest mule deer contest. If I remember correctly the right side of this hideous buck scores fairly high.

My brother picked this up a few years ago, it doesn't carry the mass very high but the bases are legit.

I'm looking for an old regressed forkie with bases like coke cans...seriously, not really worried about the overall score, but I like antlers with mass.

Deadhead, most likely a lion kill. For CA this guy was probably pretty old and carried nice mass in his forks. Mass, width, and character trump inches for me.

 

[Mountain Mule]

My largest to date. I never put a tape on him. I voted in the 160-170 category, felt about right. Hopefully someday I'll top this buck.

I have seen that photo elsewhere, more than once, and never recognized that was you. Congrats on a heck of a buck!

Did. Three contributing members so far are no shock. But I think this thread is missing some bucks still

Same.
Idaho's greatest mule deer.
Pretty sure I remember the unit too.
Every time I apply in Idaho for deer I think about possibly putting in for that unit . . . because of that deer.
It really stuck with me for some reason. (Probably because it's a great pic of an amazing buck. Love the background in the photo.)
Congratulations!

Unbelievable.

My best, rough score of 170"

Not quite 200”, but less than 1” shy…
2014, Montana.

 

[NDcoyote]

I voted 160-170 but that is a guess. Haven't measured either . I'd be more than happy to hear others guesses.

 

[Dsnow9]

These are my best two deer both in the 150s. Shot 6 years anpart and about 500 yards from each other.

You can give Bill Hepworth a call in Laramie, he's an official B&C scorer and argue with him about tapes.

I think you need a clue and a trip to the eye doctor for Christmas.

I think you should get your scorer a gift card to the eye doctor evidently. Or teach him which side of the tape to read. Centimeters and inches get confusing sometimes!
