What do you think of this Muley? Score and age class?

[Elkpiss]

So all this talk about him being killed but no pics? What is the problem with posting a harvest shot? If he was killed i'm happy as hell for the lucky Hunter and would love to see a pic. 

If Mtnmuley says he is dead, then he is dead... 

[blackveltbowhunter]

Oh, there's pics.  And, he's better than most here think.  Steelie, you went about it the wrong way to get a pic....

How did he go about it the wrong way Not being argumentative but would really like to know. His thread, his pics and a lot of people saying "score wise" that the buck is not that strong. (obviously I am paraphrasing a tad as he has a awesome frame which has been mentioned several times). Including comments from guys that have a known history on this board for being trophy mule deer aficionados.  Then we have claims of the bucks demise, and further claims such as yours that he is much better than is being guessed. Just my opinion, but if Mtn Muley killed it or knows who did, and didn't want to share any details or pics, then he would have been wise to not post anything at all.

I don't know who or why things got cross here, but I'd sure love to see pics of that buck hard horned.  He's awesome.  Congratulations to the hunter!

I'm not sure how I went about it the wrong way???  I meant no disrespect in anything I wrote. I simply shared an AWESOME deer that some buddies and I found and asked a few questions. I PM'd MtnMuley yesterday and did not receive a response. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he doesn't know he has a PM or hasn't had time to respond.  But I'd still like to see pics. I think WE all would.

  That's what I'm saying. I think we all just want to see a pic. He's a great deer. I'm thankful to have been able to scout and hunt him the little that I did.

  This is strange. Stir up this thread, claim a buck is dead, and then feel to offended to post a pick of the trophy? C'mon guys....life is to short. Congrats to Billythekidrock, buck of a lifetime, pic or no pic.

Velvet is always tough for me.  It is a great buck and if someone did take it, congrats.  I would be nice to know the score but not the end of the world if it doesn't come out.  I didn't figure we would ever know the score until someone said it was dead, then there was hope we would get a real answer.

For what it is worth my guess would have been 155-162 and a shooter all day long if I had a chance.

Drew I wouldn't say you went about it wrong there are a lot of reasons for no pic. The hunter may not be a member, and those that are and know him or those that have been sent the pic through a friend know that it's a no no to post a pic without the owners permission. Maybe you'll be lucky and it's his brother that got spanked! Either way the gene pool is there so there's another in there somewhere.

BTW I'm not being disrespectful when I score, I will always score very conservative and want to be pleasantly surprised that an animal exceeds my expectations. I don't want to be that guy that claims everything is 10-20" bigger than it really is 
In other words I'd rather be under than over! He's a buck I wouldn't pass on just about anywhere, thanks for sharing ...good luck!

[steeliedrew]

Thanks M_ray.

Again, If I offended anyone involved with this deer it was never my intention.  I might have asked something along the lines of "are east side guys mad that a westsider knows where the big boys are?" but did not mean to cause trouble. I was just having a little fun when I said that cause it seemed to me that MtnMuley was having some fun on my behalf.  Can we please put this thread back on track? A picture would be a step in the right direction if someone has permission to post one or if the hunter themselves wants to come forward with story and pics.

  If i rubbed anyone wrong.

 +1, I'm conservative on scoring as well but am generally within a couple inches, and try to post up the measurements to show how I came up with my guess. There is never disrespect intended, just a opinion.

I don't know anything other than the live pics.


I'd say that buck goes 35-37 wide outside.  (Assuming outside of his ears is 23") 



Beautiful creature!

Wow, I figured he was 30" wide (at very very best) outside spread.  I don't possible see a yard stick width there.

  I think there's alot of going on LOL

Pretty positive that is a Wyoming deer, but I didn't read all 2 pages.
