Am I the only one that would pass up that deer on a quality tag?  It's a good deer, just seems a bit spindly, another year or two??

To each their own for sure.   I’ve certainly killed bigger, I don’t know if you have, but whether it’s the shape or the rack, or animal itself. I wouldn’t hesitate.

That's an old deer and he's gonna be 181-183". Take that to the bank.  :mgun2:

haven’t come close to killing a mule deer of this stature, I admit I’m not good at scoring deer.  But if Karl says it’s 180+, I’d kill a 180+ deer on opening day, if I knew it was. Thick frames excite me and I cannot lie… lol

With a tag and a round in the chamber my mind would be "Don't screw this up, breath you fool, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze"

In a heartbeat for me too! Once my heart resumed beating that is  :chuckle: That thing is a heart stopper!

I'd be hoping for my heart to beat instead of pound. I'd be so nervous about screwing that up.
