Wouldn't be hard for either as long as you don't get buck fever lol

and can hunt 356 more days per year than the average person.

No doubt a muley is a tougher kill!  The reason is there are just more 170 whitey's, than 190 muley's plain and simple.  Because of the habitat that whitetails live in it is easier for them to live longer therefore growing larger bone with age!  Also makes them harder to find and kill but you have a better chance at getting a crack at one because there are more of them.  In Washington I have seen several in the 190 class and one that was pushing the 205ish mark (Hanford buck) and I've seen some 180 and 190 class bucks in Idaho and Montana but they aren't around every bush and they aren't very easy to kill!

  P.S.  Whats a blacktail? :chuckle:

Def. the 190 muley is harder I have had the luck of hunting 1 buck of that caliber in oregon a few years ago in archery season buck struck out. I have seen a few in washington that would be darn close. Two of which were last season. It took me 21 years of hunting to finally get a white tail over the 170 mark. Plus there is a lot more white tail than mule deer across the country
Its all about the bone baby!
