Whitetail.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Nice!  That's one of those whitetail x blacktail x mule deer hybrids.  These have been recently discovered by an outfitter in SW Washington.  This is kind of a small one but as long as the hunter is happy with it.



Okay my real opinion?  Probably on a deer farm back east somewhere  :twocents:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

 :yeah: The horns look very Muley/blacktail, but the face says it all. Doesn't even look like WA.

 :yeah:

His other hand is missing, plus no hair goes above the bases of the antlers. Photo shopped I suspect.
