Couple of live ones.
This guy I think is in the low to mid 140's as I saw him 2 times in the daylight.

This guy I think is around upper 140's but broken in this pic hard to tell from pics but I saw him the daylight that morning and he looked bigger in person.

This guy I think is close to 150

They will eat greasewood. We found out when hunting 2 seasons ago after hard freeze the first week of the season. The deer had been on gravel ridges eating forbes and the freeze killed them all. The next week I returned to hunt the last 6 days of the season and no deer on the ridges. Took 2 days of looking and found them on the greasewood flats eating the new growth greasewood next to the ground around the plants in pastures we had no been seeing any deer in. They will eat lots of things that grow out there at various times depending on the year and season. Lots of forbes grow and suprisingly lots of browse also. Not much of either one though so the deer population is much lower due to the amount of it available.

Great looking buck and he looks like a twin to the buck I killed in Alberta that was a 6x6 with the same kickers on the back forks. He will go over 170 it looks like to me.

up Thanks stxranchman. We guessed him just over 170. I am going to have to pull him off the wall and measure him out of curiousity now.

Just got a score on Bubba's Utah buck. 183 2/8.

Posted By: dkershen

Re: mule deer pics please.................... - 09/05/11 09:32 PM

This one went 154 gross... 24 inch inside spread.



And here's a buck my baby bro shot last year. 28 inch inside spread and 172 gross...



Many bucks north of 150 have come off our ranch, but I'll let my hunters post them if they want to show off.

I like that first one but I don't like that whole trash thing going on in the other 2. I know alot of people like that but just reminds me of the whole high fence science experiement thing and doesn't get my juices flowing and no I don't have a problem with high fence op's just not for me.

I know what you mean...the first one is my favorite too, but I wouldn't let the other ones walk up

Posted By: stxranchman

Re: mule deer pics please.................... - 09/08/11 10:16 PM

None of them would walk if only one of the 3 were standing in front of any Mule Deer hunter.

I liked this ones double white patch



The date is wrong in the next two pics, I had this deer at 20 yards with bow in hand and was getting ready when something spooked him and he didn't come back that day.

Man those are huge! Were are those guys roaming. Are they south or north us? Can they be found in Texas. I've never seen one before.

Re: mule deer pics please.................... - 09/10/11 11:05 PM

There are plenty of mule deer in Texas, you just have to get up around the canyons and caprocks in the panhandle.

Re: mule deer pics please.................... - 09/11/11 01:41 AM

Can't wait to get back up in Gray county and find the one I missed last season!!!! Dang it!!!!!!!!

Posted By: Bobby B

Re: mule deer pics please.................... - 09/11/11 03:32 PM

I remember when most mulies I saw that came from Texas were just rag horns. If a big one was taken it made the news. These days they compare with the deer farther North.

I missed a new P&Y world record in CO back in '86 ( long story, but after I told the outfitter about what happened, he set up to watch and saw him the next morning and told me what he'd score ) and I took a 125" buck there in '87. I have seen a few in Black Gap and up at Caprock Canyon while driving, just never got to hunt them.

Funny this thread was up and running when I came here to post about wanting to go next year. All there brutes just makes me drool. I have to put together a trip now!!!
