He did have a 4th on his right if I recall correctly. Should really start scoring more bucks! Lol. Comming from black tail country, all mule deer look big lol.
He's pretty. Yes, he's a 4x3, you can see the bump on the main beam where the the other point is.
What I did when I went was made a decision on what wanted my first/likely only muley buck to look like and it was similar to that one. Wanted symmetry and at least a 120 3x3. Ended up with a bigger buck somehow. Would have no complaints either way.
I do like to give folks a hard time if they shoot a buck like that and complain that there are no big ones around. That's just cause they didn't want a big one bad enough. If you shoot any buck, at least be and act happy about it. You have a year to wait to do it again.
Decide what you want and go get him. Hope you get one that make you smile.
That buck would get shot by 90% of all hunters if given the opportunity day 1 of season. People say they want a 150+ buck until they have a pretty deer in their scope. He is a pretty buck with both eye guards. Not many are passing that buck.
Also not all mule deer bucks have both eye guards. My friend killed a 170 class buck that had a single 7/8" eye guard. He wanted his next one to have both eye guards. His next deer was a 150 class buck with two 2" eye guards
He is "We shoot bucks like that where I come from" inches. 4 point with brow tines. Unless one has had opportunity to take quite a few large mule deer, don't see why one would pass it unless you are in a legitimate trophy unit/season.
