drummondlindseySome old footage
Here are a couple clips I pulled off my video camera. My camera is really old so please excuse the quality of the footage.
The first clip is of the largest typical mule deer I have ever laid eyes on. This buck would net well over 200", he is an absolute giant! Unfortunately, we never found him and I still get knots in my stomach when I watch this footage. He was hit hard, the buck lost a lot of blood but he made it to a property line and we were not allowed access to continue

Aspen Hill AdventuresHard to tell but that buck looked real wide to me. He clearly had some body mass too.

drummondlindseyI have some more but cannot figure out how to properly post them.
Ann, I guestimated that buck at 35"-37" wide as a clean typical

FishN4EyesDamn, that is a WIDE buck. Must be 34" or so.
Total bummer you couldn't recover it. Sometimes those things happen, unfortunately.
I think I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming obscenities for about fifty years!
