This rascal, the Oregon state record buck, came through my burg at an outdoorsmans's show earlier this year. Enough to make sure I'm interested in hunting mulies this year! ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/buckOregonrecord_zps76e8220e.jpg) Kind of a wild looking rack. That's cool. I like those big mulies, typical or non-typical. Guy

Just looking at that rack it looks like it might belong to a hybrid whitetail-muly cross just saying. Cheers NC Its impossible to tell from this mount, but here's a quote from an article on hybrids: The best feature to determine if a deer is a hybrid is the size of the metatarsal gland, which is located on the outside of the lower portion of the rear legs. This should not be confused with the tarsal glands on the inside of the legs. The metatarsals on mule deer sit high on the lower leg and are 3 to 6 inches long and surrounded by light brown fur. The whitetail�s metatarsals are at or below the mid-point of the lower leg, usually less than 1 inch, and surrounded by white hairs. A whitetail-mule deer hybrid has metatarsal glands that split the difference, usually measuring between 2-4 inches and encircled with white hair. It also says that antlers are the least reliable method of identifying hybrids because of the natural variations.

Looks weird enough like the antlers were cut in half, and each one rotated out.
I'm NOT saying thats what it is, just that it is wide enough that it looks that way.
Heck of a deer. As anotehr said, not that pretty but thats all in opinions!

If memory serves me correctly, that buck scored 201 and lost a lot of score to spread credit. Did you happen to see the recent video of the 38 incher that's still alive and well, near Madras?

A 201 score for a state record is too low, I know of several Oregon bucks with higher scores. I like this Idaho 267 buck better; good friend's brother took this one: ![[Linked Image]](http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/BoiseRick/Boomerang.jpg)

Were talking official Boone and Crockett typical score, Boise.
Your mention is commendable, but not authenticated, nor verifiable.
The state record for non-typical category is a buck killed near Bend in 1940 (circa) and that scored 330 (+/-).
But, thanks for the info and thank you for sharing a photo of a velvet buck that's in the low-to-mid thirties outside spread category.
By chance, the buck was executed in the Maupin Unit? Or perhaps, just over the line, in Owyhee County? It's a very familiar set of antlers. Just wondering?
