Hope so cause we're trying to kill him

Drummond

I guess I'll also give a shameless plug for Aaron Nielson here as well. He is the guy you'd need to talk to if you want to hunt the ground where this deer lives

I think you KNOW he is a shooter..LOL

Meh. He's pretty tall but not all that wide. I guess if you're trying to fill that niche in your trophy room then maybe.

I dont know, cant see it very well. Could be a scrawny little thing.

Yup...

He has great front forks and good back forks, nice and tall and he's probably wider than he appears at that angle of the photo.
Hell yes he's a shooter, like to run into him next week when 4th season starts.
Good luck Drummond go get him.

He's 26"-27" outside, 22"-24" inside.

I think he'll gross over 195" and net over 190"

I think you nailed it on the estimate Drummond, who would want a 190" mule??????

Save him for me for next year. Im booked to hunt mulies with aaron next nov.
Thanks

Man, That's the "understatement" of a lifetime.
Ain't very Damn many of them get away from you.
Even THE DEER start shopping taxidermy forms
when you get on their backtrail.

if you zoom out on the pic more detail comes out.
you give him another year,and he should gain some width or at least some more mass..
hard for sure to tell but he looks about 4-1/2.
next year would be his best year.
least that's what i'm seeing.

This deer is older than that. If you could see anything other than antlers in the grass I'm sure you would agree. He has a big body, sway back and old white face with a roman nose. It's near impossible to try and age a deer based on antler size. Keep in mind that where we are hunting this buck is an area deemed a "disaster area" due to the drought this year and antler growth was affected. I think that speaks volumes to the quality of the genetics in an area when you can have net book deer in bad conditions

He's a shooter in my book.

Definitely not a shooter. Send his coordinates to me so I can make sure he stays safe.

Look at those forks! Hell yes he's a shooter.

No hesitation on my part!

even zoomed out i was having a hard time making out any facial features,shapes,or even a good coloring.
i was generalizing shape.
but if he's got the nose and age, i'd take him.
he won't get better,and might winter kill..
the height is impressive,we have the same features here lots of height,but not so much width.
anything close to 30-32"s is wide for here.

Yawn ...

Seriously Drum, you can do better than that.

Wow!! You must have spent hours Googling err scouting for him!

I should know better than to challenge Drum on Mule Deer.

The last agent who did that went missing ...
