Some scientist say that all deer species in north America evolved from the Black Tail :dunno:Whitetails are the original. Blacktails came from them. Then whitetails and Blacktails bred and made mulies.

So as I scroll through all the wonderful pics of BTs on this site, I've noticed that some have antlers that resemble Mulies and some that are like Whitetail antlers. Is this just a natural thing that is completely random or are there other factors?
Three points generally will kind of resemble classic whitetail antlers in conformation. Four points generally the main beam will fork and have have two forks coming off the main beam and each of them will fork, but every once in a while a four pt blacktail shows up that has each point coming off the main beam. In my experience this latter case is "non-typical" conformation for mature blacktails.

The Columbian white-tailed deer is the western-most subspecies of white-tailed deer which occurs throughout North America. Early records indicate that Columbian white-tailed deer were once quite numerous over its historic range, from the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains to the ocean and from Puget Sound in Washington southward to the Umpqua River Basin in southern Oregon.
Here is one from NW of Grants Pass, shot in about 1991 with a roundball, late season permit draw.

This buck had one of those non-typical sides.
Perfect example
