Nice!

Thanks again for all the kind words.  I’ll admit it’s starting to sink in a bit more than before.  My exposure to Mule Deer has been limited as for about the last 20 years I’ve obsessed over whitetails.  Looking back at the hunt, the country, and quality of deer I now see why it takes so long to draw one of these tags.  It’s a special experience, I could only imagine what might crawl outta the high country given more snow and migration in full swing.  Again, a special thanks to those that sent PM’s and encouragement along the way.  This is a fantastic forum with fantastic people

Thanks!  Haven’t taped him and don’t know enough about Muley’s to guess if he’s 160” or 170”?  I’ve taped enough Whitetails and Elk to get pretty dang close on a consistent basis; I haven’t spent enough time with Mule Deer to know?  I’m open to hear guesses, tho

If we’re throwing guesses my bet is around 145-150. Sweet buck

My friend was up there for a few days chasing deer around. Did see 2 sets of wolf tracks. There goes that area.

I had my Taxidermist tape it out of sheer curiosity and he came back with a hair over 161”.  I really don’t care much for score but it was more for my knowledge and judging other Mule Deer bucks in the future

150 class is where I’d put him if I were to size him up in the field.   Perfect mass and beautiful shape.  Love the dark antlers.   Pretty buck!  Again, excellent even more so for this year.
