How big is 180 inch muley

Bodenhimer · Oct 11, 2008

I drew a trophy muley permit and dont hunt muleys very often. I have had better luck with whitetails. I was hoping you great muley hunters could post some nice photos of your trophys and put a score on them. So that when Im in the field I can better judge them on hoof. I dont want to shoot 150 or 160 incher when there are 180 plus around. Thanks

Obviously they can come in many different flavors as far as width and tine length are concerned. On the average, I would look for Bucks around 26" or wider, with deep forks all around. Don't be too concerned with mass, big forks trump mass and width all day long. My personal best goes about 180, but is only 22" wide, with only a 16" inside spread, so don't overlook these types of bucks.

They are like whitetail, you have to take a look at each aspect of the rack in order to accurately field score a buck. This buck here I was told would go over 190 inches. I was skeptical because of the narrow inside spread and the smaller front forks and guessed around 185". I didn't expect to be the one to first put a tape on him, but he ended up scoring 181", My biggest buck to date. Good luck and remeber that a wide spread will throw you off easy, ecspecially from behind and even more so after hunting whitetail.
