Bench buck or Muley????

finnman · May 30, 2009

These are some sheds from a few years ago my friend found in central Klickitat Co., in WA. He scored them at 195 gross! I am familiar with the area and can't say I have ever seen a true blooded muley in the area. Has anyone else seen muleys around this area? Or just bench deer?

A bench buck or deer is what many people refer to as a cross breed, blacktail and muledeer, it has certain characteristics that can be picked out with some careful observation. In WA they are seen from the Columbia river north to the North Cascades hwy, all along the cascade crest and down the eastern flank of the range. Also all throghout Klickitat Co.
My sister in law shot one just west of Naches a few years ago.
