Opening day 2015 finally rolled around and my buddy had taken the entire week off to hunt. The area he hunts is a combination of dense evergreens with patches of sagebrush in between. Tirelessly he would climb up the hills then down to the creek bottom and all he would see was does and non shooters. Slowly everyone in his party began to tag out, feeling deflated and with the pressure mounting because of the season end quickly approaching he set out once again. About an hour before sundown he finally spotted a shooter deep in the woods. He jumped off of the quad and loaded his rifle. The deer bolted into some nasty woods but turned around and headed back down into a steep, thick wooded canyon. As the deer was making it's move into the canyon he shot right before the deer made it into the canyon. Unsure if he had hit the buck my friend quickly took off into the direction he had last seen the buck. As he came up to the last spot he saw the buck laying not 5 feet from where he was last seen.
This is his first deer ever. His hardwork and dedication paid off and it paid off incredibly well.

Big, big antlers and a blackie's tail. :dunno:
Whatever, its a mule nothing more. As far as I know there's whitetail, black tail and mule deer.

Actually... It's a benchleg
From the pictures provided, it looks like a mule deer. Care to elaborate on your scientific research on its bench leg status?
