What species deer? (pics included

[kirkl]

What kind of deer is this?

[benhuntin]

looks like a whitey to me.

[NWBREW]

I,d say whitetail.

[400out]

yep I will go white

[benhuntin]

Could be a great Cues deer

[elkaholic123]

I'll say blackie

[blacktailcrzy]

i think white

[7mmfan]

I've seen blacktail that look a lot like that, also saw a muledeer/whitetail cross in Wyoming that looked a lot like that too. My vote is Blacktail

[superdown]

whitetail

[Huntbear]

Looks like a lot of the Whitetail racks I have taken in N. Idaho.

I vote Whitetail.

[uplandhunter870]

my vote is a blacky or a mule/white cross... if it is a whitetail then its eyeguards are  really short and in a wierd spot for a true whitetail

[270Shooter]

benchlegger, black/mule

[muleyslayer#1]

I say whitey

[TSLPE]

Its a SHOOTER!!!

[Pathfinder101]

Blacktail, I think.  Just guessing that a rack with that much age/mass would have bigger eyeguards if it was a whitey...

[singleshot12]

Most likely Whitetail, but have seen blacktail with similar configuration

I say blacktail with an ounce or two of muley in him. He's got the whitetail look, but I don't think its a whitetail. I don't think the eyeguards look like a whitetail, not just the size, because I've seen whiteys with short ones, but the way they come off of the beam. Just my  Cool buck for sure!

[norsepeak]

definetly benchleg.

[JackOfAllTrades]

Columbia Coose.

[throttlejocky20]

milie whitey mix 

[Skinnyman]

I'd say Whitetail or Columbian Whitetail

[sakoshooter]

Whitetail

[kirkl]

Some of you got it right. its a benchleg shot in the cowiche GMU. Wonder how many of these sheds that people say are whities around here are actually benchleg bucks. i have a few that look like whitey horns but are benchers.

[huntandjeep]

Id have to say benchleg.

[YoterHunter]

i say black tail. ive seen several blackys that look like that .plus the horns are dark coller.

[300UltraMagShooter]

brows and the shape of the antler suggests blackie to me...  not 100%

[DOUBLELUNG]

I'd honestly have guessed a regressor whitetail if it was antlers only.

Since we get to see the skull, the deep anteorbital depression (pit immediately in front of the eye socket) and broad preorbital foramen (hole for the preorbital, a.k.a. lacrimal gland - gland in front of the eye) identify it as Odocoileus hemionus (mule/black-tailed deer), not Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer).  If the lower jaw was available, and it was a younger deer (so the teeth aren't worn to nubs), it would have enamel surfaces on the incisors more than 3x longer than the width.  Whitetail incisor enamel lengths are less than 2x the width, and also the enamel flares more from the base to the tip on whitetails.  

I learned the difference when I was working on deer studies in areas with lots of both species (Black Hills and eastern Wyoming riparian).  Also used to get asked by sportsmen and ranchers who wanted to know what species the 3-point skull they'd found was.
