You say you haven't hunted mule deer much and just got into it.....You have the tag all of us dream of, but myself, as well as many could attest to i'm sure, I would not pass on a 190" buck with that tag. However, if it is a 200" buck you seek good luck they are out there but there aren't many. 200" is a score, a large score though. Have you even shot a mule deer? I dont know how you are passing on 185"-190" bucks if you've never shot one, i usually figure people that have never hunted a particular species shoot smaller ones their first time. You have better finger control on that trigger than I ever would if i had that tag. Shoot one that makes you happy, we're not here to judge you or criticize you for shooting a 180" deer, i dream of shooting deer that big. Good luck, keep us posted.
