Don't know much about Mule Deer. Is this a shooter?
He would be for me if I had a mule deer tag. Arrow or bullet. But when I do have a MD tag...........I see elk, or whitetail, or turkeys. or javelina. Not mule deer bucks.
Judging by those friends have killed, and I've eaten of, he'd likely taste the same as one with bigger or smaller antlers.
Still in velvet, so he'll grow a bit more.
you experts out there, what do you figure? 26" inside spread? Not much in the way of eye guards, the kicker on the back add some points maybe?
