I can't believe I am just seeing this post.  I love these old photos

Here's one that will get you dreaming!  I sent this pic to MM a long time ago.  These bucks were killed in WA by a Cashmere family.  The biggest has never been scored and the hunters son who has it won't let it be.  The picture used to hang in a bar in Cashmere for years and they let me make some copies.  I have seen the mount on this buck and it's incredible.  There is also a pic of this buck in an old book titled The Mule Deer.  I have it at home.



I have a bigger copy of this some where.  I'll have to dig it out and scan it.

The deer have gotten smaller in my life time, you very seldom see a big bodied muley anymore. I've noticed this for a long time, I'm sure your Grandpa would tell you the same. I don't know the reason, maybe not enough big ones survive year after year to keep the big body gene going. What do you guys think? :dunno:

Yeah it truly is an amazing buck.  The book I have "The Mule Deer" by Jim Bond was probably published around 1960.  It is a really cool book.  Some one who saw that pic on MM recognized it from the book and told me about it.  In the book it has a pretty young woman posing with it and it says it was a big 282 lber.  Nothing about the antlers.  There are a lot of cool old pics in the book and some interesting reading.  Talks about how the mule deer were almost wiped out on the Arizona strip and how hunters rehabilitated the land and brought them back.

There are some cool old pics at the DFW office in Wenatchee.  One of a buck that was 39" wide I believe.  A local taxidermist had that rack at one time.
