Let’s hear it. I said muley with that branched back tine which is rare for whitetails, but it is quite common for mule deer to grow whitetail looking 3 points of main beam. A number of people have said this buck is a whitetail.

he has just enough white showing on that nose to tell me he is a whitetail, but that "mule deer" left horn sure makes a guy second guess

I chose whitetail due to small ears, narrow face and eye guards.   With all that said.....it could also be a Muley!!

I'm wondering how many "whitetail" sheds there are in the record book that are Muley.

He's a whitetail.   I thought he was a perfect example how antlers don't always "act" the way they should for a particular species.  He was the third buck I seen in this area that had that characteristic THIS year.   I filmed his Daddy or grand daddy in the same area a few years ago.   He obviously got some breeding done.

Never doubted for a second that it was a Whitetail. Let's play again Bone, these are great test for positive identification.

That's a great buck Bone. Do you think that is regression or just only going to be a 3pt. frame with junk?
