It looks even better than the pic I posted sent from from the taxidermist

They did good @Little Big Man MT Chris
Now it is time for 2024 for you to get you a nice muley.
Don't you have some blacktail euro mounted from your time in OR?

Ya , 3 my wife’s biggest Blacktail and one of which I regret not shoulder mounting and my 4 point eastern Oregon Mule deer .
I want another WT buck , for whatever reason I’m obsessed with them , but if I come across a bigger muley than my euro , shots will be fired!!!
Wife’s buck
He was one big bodied pig , and was in a nasty hole in a down pour , a logging buddy of mine was in the area hunting with his son and came over and we ended up pulling him out with the chainsaw winch up to the logging road
My 1st Blacktail
Me mule
My 2nd Blacktail and my regret
He was a really old Roman nose buck with a big split ear on one side and a bullet hole through the other , where I assumed someone tried a head shot years earlier when he was little and they missed
I took this buck in 2016, and then two years later in 2018 in the same canyon or draw and less than 1000 yards apart. My wife got her biggest buck pictured above and if you look at the antlers from each buck there pretty identical in the fact that you’ve got a big third in the back And a little crab claw fork in the front , it’s always had me wonder if my buck sired my wife’s buck
He was a proud old warrior, he dropped in the scope on the shot and let out a death bleat that echoed and filled the canyon before he died , haunted me for days, not before or after have I ever heard a deer do that . He would have made an amazing shoulder mount
Side by side comparison

Excellent work! I am hoping to put a tag on a Montana whitetail this year myself!

For what ever reason I have no real interest in a Muley. I’m still WT obsessed. I tagged out on a young 4x4 muley on an eastern Oregon hunt back in 2019.
I know they get a lot bigger , but the fire inside doesn’t burn for a mule deer the way it does for a WT buck , that being said if I’m out and about and I see a big mule deer I’ll go after it , but for now I’m looking forward to hunting mountain WT’s again this fall….

Makes sense sir! I ain't gonna judge you @Little Big Man MT Chris
We all gotta hunt what motivates us to get out there and keep pushing. I am lucky enough to hunt yearly in SC and see the WT's, so any time I am in the west, muleys it is.

Chris, your Oregon mule deer spot is all burnt up now. All that great habitat gone.
