Couple nice bucks there!! If i'm on a decent out of state hunt, those are two bucks that i don't want to see, especially early on in the hunt. I have at least 8 muleys that are "that" class of buck and i try hard to get up into the next class.
I've been lucky enough to hunt some good places and it's tuff to pass on bucks like these but i've done it many times. Usually that's what i end up with though and there's really nothing wrong with those guys, i just want to give it my best attempt to get that monster, that buck of a lifetime. So far, no go but hopefully i'll be after them again this season. Nice pic and Thanks!!

Although I don't get to do out-of-state hunts, I live in Idaho and can do some serious back-country hunts; even two a year. I agree with Sage exactly (two times in one morning....you'll think I've got a crush). Those are the deer that you would love to show the neighbor (so you can brag) but you REALLY want the monster so you can show your dad......or your grandkids will brag about.

Being as I'm not from muley country, I would be delighted to take either one of those !!!!

I would take either of those bucks without hesitation. Opportunities for me have been pretty thin the last several years... even with hunting excellent areas I know pretty well. The past two years hunting I just encountered small bucks, and didn't draw this year, so if I ever draw again the next couple of years and encounter bucks like those, even in the first hour of the hunt, crunch time will be on!!

I wouldn't judge that buck with his head sideways without another view. I try to never judge mule deer from just one angle - he may look decent there, but if he gets up and looks right at you and is 30" wide, opinions may change.
Just my 2 cents.

sorry, but it doesn't take another angle to know that buck ain't turning and being a 30" wide buck, but who cares if a buck is 30" wide? width is the LEAST important thing to look at

If I stumbled on those two bucks while deer hunting that one on the left would be in big trouble.

if you had the tag for where these deer live and you actually shot one then youd be one dumb s.o.b. lmao. they strictly live on private land...... and these are very small compared to others on this property..

You're right, outside width is not that important - but length of main beams and inside spread is a huge part of the scoring systems. This must be around some private ground where deer over 200" are everywhere.
