Body looked all mule deer.
"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted..If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."

I can see the resemblance of a whitetail but don't think its a crossbread. Looks like a mule deer to me also.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I dont know? It seems to be right out of the main beam rather than forked like the other mule deer I have killed.  :dunno:
Oh well maybe I'm seeing things. Either way I'm happy with it.

All muley.

I have shot several Blacktails that looked like they had been crossbred with whitetails as well... it is just something that happens.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

You ahve to remember to take in all characteristics, I chased a spike/two point that had antlers like a longhorn steer for the last couple years that was 32 inches wide or so.  That doesn't mean his Dad got it on with Bessie.
