Title: Mule deer size...
Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on October 22, 2012, 05:39:24 PM: Heading to colorado on the 1st of november for a mule deer hunt that starts on the 3rd. I have never hunted mule deer before. I really have been looking at alot of pictures but i can't tell score.
Not that i really worry about score but i would like to know the difference between a 160 inch mule deer and 180. Can you guys post a few pics of a real 160" deer and a real 180" deer.
The unit we are heading to has the potential of 210 inch deer i think every unit in colorado does. I have been reading on how to judge a deer but i really would like to see some pics that have a few scores attached just so i can see the difference.

Thank you for the help,
Chris

Of course there will always be the deer that just has it all and there is no question.

I think it would be cool to find a 30 inch fork...
