Finally got my mount back.

I took this old timer with a 25 06 in 2004. Took some tracking but I was well pleased when I walked up and saw all that mass.

I saw him the year before on the same sparsely pine covered hill side. His antlers were better then I think.

Very Nice Muley. Great Mass.

What did he end up scoring?

He grossed 186ish, after deductions.....

He's high and extra heavy. Any knowledgable hunter would appreciate that buck, regardless of score. It's not just the "trash-factor" bucks that get creamed by the scoring system, proper credit for mass is also lacking. Great buck!

Very nice buck!!

That is nothing to turn your finger down to.

Beautiful animal.

Great Buck and a lovely mount, congratulations!

I know guys, thumbs down on the score only.

I like this old warrior a lot. If I was concerned with score more than character I would of passed. I do like high scoring bucks but since I'm allowed 3 muley bucks and the season is 3 1/2 months long, I will be able to keep searching for those book bucks but won't pass on the charcter bucks like him.

I will take the first legal 4x4 during the Sept 1/10th 4 point season for meat without any hesitation. Just love to get out there and hunt anyways.

he''s a beauty,loaded with character,he''ll bring back fond hunting memories i''m sure, congrats regards jjmp
