Great buck! The deer obviously looks like a mule deer ears/body, but antlers look somewhat whitetail. Wonder if it could be a hybrid? Killed in an area with both species? Great buck either way.
Nice buck. We see lots of Texas muleys with horns that are built like his. No doubt he's a straight mule deer. I didn't know that the Texas mule deer season went into January; thought it closed in December. Congrats on a nice buck.
This was taken on a draw hunt during January 3-6, 2008 in the Sierra Diablo WMA. It is north of Allamoore, Texas. He is 25 1/2" wide, with 5 1/8" bases and has 12" tines. There were a total of 6 tags issued. Only 4 hunters showed up.
