2024 Nevada mule deer

[David Gough]

While scouting a pronghorn tag with a buddy yesterday (7/28/24) we ran across this muley in Washoe county. With the state of Nevada's mule deer it was a pleasant surprise to see him.

Archery season is almost here, so post those Nevada bucks you've seen in 2024.

I think I could about drop you a pin on that bucks location. There are some good ones in that general area

What a cool rack...

Plenty of mass, inline on one side, a crown on the other...pretty cool buck!

Town bucks are a unique form of torture for me. When I was a kid, muley town bucks just didn't exist in my area. Sometime about 20 years ago it seems they started moving into certain parks and areas near creeks/rivers with cover, inside city limits - they started adapting to being around people in ways they just hadn't before. Some think it had to do with increased mountain lion pressure, and they may be onto something, at least in areas where hunting cats is prohibited. But yeah...seeing comparative "monster" bucks in a park the first time I visited my hometown after a decade or so away was jaw-dropping.
