Doesn't look long armed to me, looks like they just know how to take a great photo including both hunter and guide, while not interfering with the animals ginormous rack. Great deer congrats to the hunter.Not long armed? The guy is sitting at the back end of the deer and holding the horns with his arm fully extended. Still a monster deer and its definitely looks well Over 200 but 276 may be a stretch. It is just a picture and you can be fooled, for all I know the picture may make it look small. Great deer and picture though.

I have to agree with you on this. First thing I thought was that the only way to get both of them in the photo without the antlers covering their faces was for the guy on the right to sit back. Great buck and great photo!

Now clearly, this guy isn't foreshortening that deer. He's just an unfortunate soul who's left arm happens to be 1/4 the length of his right arm.
Post by: Austrian Hunter on November 30, 2012, 01:08:32 PM
"Long arming" is such an offensive term. Out of consideration for those of us with 32" draw lengths, the politically correct term is "Distortion via foreshortening". Thank you for your consideration :chuckle:

Awesome buck yet they still felt the need to extreme long arm it. :dunno: I'm surprised the guy didn't sit 10 feet back and hold it up with a stick. :bash:Why be a hater, they just know how to take a great picture.

Given the recent theme on here I am not surprised somebody complained about it though.

Long arming, I think not! I look at the proportion of the head of the animal to the body of the person behind it, and in this case I see a great proportionate photo of all. :twocents:

What's wrong with the hind quarter? It looks weird?
It almost looks like the hind quarters are gone. Like it's just the front half of the deer. :dunno:

HOG buck! Be interesting to see if it is high fence? Lots of fences and deer growing in Sonora right now - also, an "early" mule deer hunt in Sonora is mid-late December. The majority of hunting takes place in January down there, during the rut.
Maybe you ponder this, since you do a lot of huntin and not a lot of gettin.

Wow, awesome buck! I usually refer to desert muleys as sombrero bucks, because they are big, wide and thin. But that one has the mass to go with it!
My understanding is that the rut in the desert is in late December/January because then the fawns drop during the summer after the monsoons have started, the desert greens up and there is water/food available. They also don't need to worry about snow and winterkill like our deer up here. If our rut was later, the fawns would only have a couple months to grow before the winter kicks in.

Nice! Probably cost $20k to get a buck like that.
Lol. I would say that the trophy fee was much higher than that. IDK.
What a buck!!!
