This is my third mule deer and I finally got one that makes me happy. Got this one in CO, unit 17, near Waldon. Just got back to OH and took him to the taxi. Glad I decided to pick up a deer license with the land owner tag as we all had OTC 3rd antlered elk and never even saw one... of any kind. The elk had all left the ranch we were hunting and went to their winter range just south of Walden on a wildlife reserve before we even got there. Saw 3 hers of 200 -300 each. I was the only one of seven with a deer tag and got this boy. Neck was 32 inches. Has some good dark colored horns and some mass. I didn't see the pictures until I got back. Dang, didn't know the tongue was hanging out, red eyes, etc... Been out west 5 times, got three bucks and finally got one to mount. Any guesses on a score? The taxi will score him for me, but I'm not into doing it, so I got no clue. One guy hunting with us thought 180 before deductions. He's got 22" inside, 4x5 with browe tines and one of them is broken. Bases are just shy of 7" diameter. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
