Title: A couple big muleys
Post by: jjhunter on March 02, 2009, 09:06:30 AM: Here are a couple of bucks shot with my buddy's outfitting business. These two are around 34". One is a 190" and the other is a 206".

Pretty easy to recognize rack structure. They only grow like that one place in the world!

Title: Re: A couple big muleys
Post by: jjhunter on March 02, 2009, 11:21:10 AM: I didn't go because I couldn't justify the money with the current economic state....... :bash:. They killed a bunch of 30 - 35" bucks this year, though.

Post by: whacker1 on March 02, 2009, 12:19:01 PM: I think you may have given the information in another thread, but I can't remember. Who is the outfitter? Do they have a web-site?
Title: Re: A couple big muleys
Post by: groundhog on March 02, 2009, 12:24:22 PM: I know some guys that went with a different outfitter and they did not fare as well. They paid $8,000 and came back with bucks that might go 180 gross. All three had uneven racks and looked like they might net in the low 160s......

No, I did not go. Couldn't justify the money.....I could, but my wife couldn't! I am a newly-wed and am still in the break-in process.

Post by: MuleySniper on March 02, 2009, 05:42:43 PM: Great bucks! That buddy of yours didn't happen to be or still is part time a contractor from around Gig Harbor is he? A buddy of mine, says he knows a guy that guides down in Sonora and is or was a general contractor from my area. Just curious. Id love to get down there some day.
