200” deer- Muley or Whitetail?

[waspocrew]

Muley for me. Maybe I’ll kill a nice buck someday haha.

 

[Billy Goat]

Gross or net?

Besides a few freaks, that leads to a fair difference between the species.



Really, I'd take either. This is like the girl at the end of the bar at last call.

They all look fantastic

 

[Firestone]

Muley for sure

 

[Bugger]

Any no one pays money for a LO tag, auction tag, or hunt in Mexico for monster mule deer?

Didn’t say that, but I bet there’s 100 to 1 whitetail outfitters with a price by inch menu on their websites compared to mule deer outfitters, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.

You had implied that only whitetail hunters pay for monster bucks and not mule deer hunters. I pointed out that it is not just limited to whitetail and now your delicates are knotted up.

Here's some auction numbers for mule deer from the the past few years.
AZ: $675K, $575K, $725K, $400K
NV: $165K, $160K, 140K, $110K
OR: $75K, $82.5K, $80K, $57.5K
WA: $37.5K, $48K

We all pay to play.

So far it’s pretty skewed toward mule deer 38 to 13 whitetail

Well the Mule Deer IS the superior deer.

Give me a 30" wide muley that is 185 next to a 200+ inch muley who's only 25" wide and I'm killing the 30" buck every time.

Mule Deer obviously, unless it's a genetically modified Coues Whitetail

First rule of mule deer fight club: Never pass a 30" buck!

 

[DiabeticKripple]

interesting that theres a lot more mule deer guys.

finding a 200" whitetail is a lot harder than finding a 200" mule deer.

200” typical northwest Montana mountain whitetail. You can’t buy one of those!

 

[Elkangle]

I went whitetail... while a 200 inch mulie is unreal awesome...the whitetail is the more impressive accomplishment from my experience

 

[Dioni A]

I can confirm that it's pretty fun to take a buck over 200 that's 30 wide if anyone wasn't sure about it.

Did I though? It’s cute you’re trying to bait into an argument, good luck with that.

IYKYK, and it can be quite an obsession!

 

[jakew1984]

Say you had a miracle and could bowhunt and kill either a mule deer or whitetail wild and fair chase that would score 200”- But could be your only one over 200”- which species would you rather have?

Whitetail all day!

Bugger would disagree.

Like a Coues deer but bigger

I took the original comment about buying a whitetail to mean that it could be from a high fence operation or game farm.

I want pictures of the 40” 230!

My wife has a typical 39 1/2" wide, 213" G/211" N mulie. She was pissed it wasn't 40".

 

[Fujicon]

200" Mule deer are going to be a thing of the past or dang near it in 25 years. Whitetails are getting bigger in every state year by year.

Is that based on a scientific study? What is your source for that? Not to challenge, but I'd like to see that study and what underlies the data.
