What would you rather shoot a big mule deer or a big whitetail especially on opening day.

Gutpile · « **Reply #1 on:** October 18, 2009, 03:59:15 PM »

Mule, I've never shot one.

Hoythunter · « **Reply #2 on:** October 18, 2009, 04:03:54 PM »

Well, if you're comparing the two in the pics I'd take that Whitey everytime. That is a pig, any story to go along?

buckhorn2 · « **Reply #3 on:** October 18, 2009, 04:14:21 PM »

The mule deer is 27 wide straight across with triple eye guards on one side. The whitetail is 26 wide and a 7x5 that is heavy horned both opening day.

Both of those animals are huge...did that happen today? Who shot those? I'm assuming you didn't shoot them both.

boneaddict · « **Reply #5 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:02:11 PM »

Well if he was hunting the Idaho/Wa border he could do both. I'd normally take a big muley everytime over a whitie, but in this case, that whitetail

bornforhorns · « **Reply #6 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:02:34 PM »

Please tell me there not public land washington bucks on opening day? I know they both can be killed here...but my god on opening day!

bornforhorns · « **Reply #7 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:03:54 PM »

That mule deer is full body so I'm guessing ....somewhere on the reservation.

Whitelightning · « **Reply #8 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:05:43 PM »

I would take the Muley every time over the Whitetail. Gotta love those Mule Deer!!

Muley for me please. Mark

jjhunter · « **Reply #10 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:07:36 PM »

That whitetail is a stud! No question between those two........WT!

boneaddict · « **Reply #11 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:08:51 PM »

I've seen that muley genetic in the Kettle Crest a lot. In fact, I have a shed that looks practically identical.

NWBREW · « **Reply #12 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:12:03 PM »

I'd take the whitetail

bornforhorns · « **Reply #13 on:** October 18, 2009, 06:20:14 PM »

Ridgerunner · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2009, 07:36:50 PM »

B.G.hunter · « **Reply #23 on:** October 18, 2009, 08:55:35 PM »

KillerMiller · « **Reply #24 on:** October 18, 2009, 09:12:31 PM »

Both deer are outstanding.

bowhunterforever · « **Reply #25 on:** October 18, 2009, 09:49:12 PM »

Both bucks are hogs!

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #26 on:** October 19, 2009, 01:38:28 PM »

Those are some monsters! Any more info on them!

Palmer · « **Reply #27 on:** October 20, 2009, 07:06:32 AM »

I take the Whitetail. I had a muley once and it was tough to eat. I hear they're only good if taken out of the southeast grazing on farmland.

addicted · « **Reply #28 on:** October 20, 2009, 07:27:09 AM »

whichever one stepped infront of my rifle first.

however.,,,.,.,.,,. if they were both in the feild i would probably take a mulie

C-Money · « **Reply #29 on:** October 20, 2009, 08:09:49 AM »

When I am out deer hunting, I want a Mule deer buck. That whitetail in the pic is to me more rare to find one that big. Though 27'' muley's dont grow on trees, they are around more than a 26'' whitetail. Both bucks are just awesome.

Rick · « **Reply #30 on:** October 20, 2009, 10:28:34 AM »

I'd take a Mule Deer every time. I wouldn't give two *censored*s to hunt Whitetails.

strutnrut1984 · « **Reply #31 on:** October 20, 2009, 10:34:21 AM »

either one they both are huge i dont think id be picky lol

MichaelJ · « **Reply #32 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:11:23 AM »

Great job! I'm guessing those are from SE WA though... the angles of those forks on the muley look like a trait I've seen a lot down there....

Normally I would shoot the Muley...However this year I am going after Late season Whitetails.

So I would shoot the Whitetail this year...Next year in Wyoming, or Utah....It would have to be the Muley. Nice animals!!!
