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

[Karl Blanchard]

So this is not me taking a side but I do know how my brain works.  I am a "believe it when I see it" kind of guy.  That buck has no defining features that stick out.  He's a high 20's deer with decent mass.  There are a 100 deer just like him out there.  So to say without a doubt that that exact buck is dead would leave me far from convinced without further verification.   Hell 4 1/2 years ago his momma could have had twins and there is another out there almost identical to him.

There is about 5 guys on this sight that I can think of off the top of my head that I would believe without actually seeing a pic and MM is not one of them.  I AM NOT saying he doesn't know what he is talking about but I don't personally know him or his background.  Are we all supposed to just believe what we read from someone we don't know now?

No favor was done for steeliedrew in my mind.  If anything, it only made his life worse because if it was me, I would be looking even harder for this buck.  If I saw a pic or exchanged pm's and that solidified it in my mind, then that would be a favor because then I could move on to other deer.   I just couldn't throw in the towel because a stranger said "he's dead". 

Its SITE not SIGHT

  Hey my phone is supposed to take care of stuff like that

Those two points are too tender!  I shoot hamburger rutted up bucks now!

PS this one is dead too!

Are you sure he is dead?? I swear I just saw his tail move. Lol

Me, I'm gonna continue to post pics and share my adventures.  It kind of the whole point of social media and these forums.  I love sharing and I also love looking at others success and reading their adventures.  Some need to grow thicker skin I think.

  I really enjoy sharing my adventures with like minded people. And half the reason for visting forums is horn porn and fish porn. Cause let's face it....most of us work a lot, and when we can't be out in the field it's great to live through folks in their adventures to keep that fire burning. This is why I've fallen in love with Instagram this year. More horn porn on there than you can shake a stick at.

That's one way to look at it? ... I however give a guy the benefit of the doubt until I have a reason NOT to believe them    Those who have been around here awhile are smart enough to tell who is here to stir the pot and cause trouble and who have a track record of being genuine and helpful I've never seen Mt Muley fall into the first category ... So I for one am not passing judgement until I see otherwise.

There is a lot of bucks out there that could look similar. The least Mtn Muley could do is pm steelie with the area the buck was killed in so that steelie knows if 'his' buck is dead or not. If you can't do that, why post that it's dead?

     Thats exactly why I tried to make it very clear that I was not implying he was doing so, merly pointing out that "in general"  if an individual does not know someone personally, they tend to not take their word as the gospel.  Thats it, nothing more

And that is unfortunate.

Problem with that is there's a lot of assumption on where this buck is from. Where it was said to have been killed is quite a few miles away from where we found him in his summer range. Not even the same unit. I know Mule deer migrate a good deal but didn't expect him to move that far that fast.

I'm so confused.....are we trashing someone and going to run them outta here in a get off my lawn fashion....just chatting....do we get 10 points....do we not....where are we on this whole mess?

[bobcat]

I guess I missed the post that said where it was supposedly killed. 

[M_ray]

And that is unfortunate.

And I would agree.

[steeliedrew]

I received a few PM's.

I dont know how far the buck was killed from where you saw him but WEA300MAG had a bomber buck on his trail camera during the summer that was killed during general season 16-17 miles away as the crow flies.

I cant believe this threat has lasted this long.
