EDIT after second photo: I still let him continue to walk away, that cab claw does not appear anywhere close to 1" in my opinion.

I would let this guy go...unfortunate. I have let deer like this go before.
:yeah: I swear an hour or 2 of every season is spent with these type bucks under the spotter scrutiny... not once have I made the decision to shoot.

that could be a just West Blacktail :chuckle:
ok, now that I can say that appears to be the dry side and that is a Muley, he only gets shot by the camera

That's not even close to being a 3 point.
I disagree :chuckle:

If that little tang isn't an inch long, you have 3 choices, 1. Leave it as it lays, 2. pack it up at night and head home, 3. which is always my favorite, duck tape a 6" branch on it, then it will be a legal 3pt.....

Must be something in the water, Grant Co. Seems to have a lot just like that guy.
Wonder how many times that deer has been to. Cross hairs,safety off, finger on the trigger. :chuckle:

Why do i the feeling you may have a pic from a different angle to show us.

I shot a buck almost exactly like this years ago, saw him at dusk and he was a slick 2, but some other bucks same in after shooting light that were legal so i went back the next evening to wait them out, out came this 2 again and with a different angle he had grown a front 2inch crab over night.

They need to open up a youth 2point mule deer draw...

Why? I thought the restriction was in place to let some bucks survive the hunting season.

Mature buck 2 points would be something I would be in favor of seeing harvested. Can't say I like to see culls like this left to get all the ladies.

Mature 2 pts are inferior. They can't be harvested and will remain "safe" to spread their inferior seed.
:yeah:
Post by: Special T on September 30, 2015, 03:20:10 PM
Is a 2 point inferior in some way or is it only because hunters like bucks with lots of points that you'd like them out of the gene pool?Honestly I think mule deer hunting needs to change. But that pesky manageme t is necessary. Im not sure how much time youve spent in the basin area, but there a LOT of those big 2points out there. I belive we are selective breeding mule deer to have 2 points since they get hunted so hard, at least in that area. My sugestion is mostly to mix the genetic pool back up. Its possible to do the same thing several different ways. But im always incli ed to give a special chance to kids first. You could also make archery 2 point or better. I dont think there a whole lot of archers that kill many deer over there. 2c

I shot a buck that had three little points like that coming off a big two point and my thinking was that one had to be at least an inch. I was wrong. The biggest was about 1/8 inch short. I didn't hide it I didn't call my self in I just chalked it up to a lessoned learned. I could tell my hunting partner was dissappointed in me and that alone was punishment enough.Really :chuckle:

I shoot 0 points - it's all about the law. If a 2 point was legal, I wouldn't think twice about taking it on a general tag.
