What size Mule Deer will make it to your wall this season?

[Sunspot]

Got him a couple years ago. I did a European mount. For a full shoulder mount its gotta be 190+.

Nice one

You guys are crazy...first 3x3 or 4x4 I shoot with my bow is getting a shoulder mount, I don't care if he barely breaks 150. Any kill with my bow is a trophy in my book!

Of course I say that now, after shooting a whitetail buck with my bow I've suddenly grown a lot more picky. Haha.

 

[Rizzy]

I mounted the first deer I ever shot, it was a crabby 2 x 4, maybe 60"

 

[Sunspot]

I've always been more of a good picture in a frame and memories guy, even as a kid when I shot my first deer and it was a really nice 8 pt whitetail with a 19" inside spread. My dad, on the other hand, has his man cave looking like a Night at the Museum.

 

[In God We Trust]

Anything over 180 goes on the wall every year!

To be quite honest this year my goal is a legal buck, be it coues deer or mule deer. This is my first year with a recurve bow so ill be happy with anything, same with my elk hunt. Hell ill even live hunt it and be proud... Daniel

Making the wall always depends on the area. I grew up in southern alberta chasing quality deer every year. Arrowing a 160+ mulie is "all in a days work", but even trying to find a 160 mulie in southeastern BC now is pretty tough. Keep the area you hunt, and it's potential, in perspective.

150+, especially in velvet. My 150" velvet buck from last year broke his G2 at the base falling off a cliff. Still looking for a good velvet muley....

First velvet P&Y buck will make the wall as I'm going for the deer slam meeting this criteria. 2/5 the way there, with the whitetail already out of the way to boot.

After that it will just be euros and picture frames regardless of size.

I'll know him when I see him. That's about as particular as my standards get.

 

[robby denning]

I'm with Belly-deep.
You always know when you see him.

My first attempt at attaching a photo to a post...

I hope to find this buck from my trail camera last year. He would do nicely!

 

[HighHunter1232]

second attempt...

 

[haffs]

160" with a rifle will probably make it and gross P&Y as I've never shot a P&Y muley with my bow

I hope to find this buck again... I was 20 yards from him for thirty minutes waiting for him to stand up... Crappy video from a long ways off but you'll get the idea. Can't wait...36 days... Ed F

And what happened Ed?!? Looks like an awesome buck, I wish you luck in finding him! You Nevada guys are lucky, I still got to wait 56 days!!!

 

[bowuntr]

And what happened Ed?!?

I should have waited. A small thunderstorm blew right over me and I got winded. I saw the storm coming and could have waited it out before my final stalk. I lose sleep over that buck... 35 more days... Ed F
