Topic with txtrophy85 brought this to mind on their size and how it varies from place to place.


So here is your normal size muley, middle-aged, nothing really stands out.



Here's the one struggling to to keep up following the one above.



When eye-balling them you have to consider that the mature does are over 200 the majority of the time and the yearling bucks are right about their size.








here's another 2 deer that were right there together, top one being one of those 250-260lbers.



then his traveling buddy

I always thought the brows were a good way to judge maturity on a muley as well?

The fourth one should be dead and on your wall

I agree. 38 freaking inch OS when that woman shot him the next year.

Not really, some have them, some just won't. Buddy found one last year that had 6" brows and was a young deer, his wife's was several years older and her's had none, both scored low 180s.

That a great mule deer a gocd trophy.

huge mule deer.

I believe the brows have more to do with heredity not age.

Man, those are some great pictures. You take all of those?

they are really big.By the way..How much the world record stands..weight wise.

They get THICK

Largest I'm aware of is a dressed weight of 410, which should put it around 520ish.

I did take them all.

A .257 wby will drop any of those deer stone dead



I'm pumped about the upcoming season those big ear deer get in your blood

West Texas Mule Deer that field dressed 208 lbs

Alberta Mule Deer that the guide said was 375 lbs but I do not think he was that big. He was a tough to load for 3 of us and was by far the largest body Mule Deer I have killed.

I would expect the Canadian deer to be pretty stout

I was looking at records the other day and the record whitetail came from Maine and weighed 511 lbs. that is a freaking steer

Wonder what the heaviest Muley is on record?

You going to shoot deer #5 at just shy of 800yds with the Roy?

Only thing I'll shoot at 800 yards is the bird

I won't shoot at a deer much over 400 with any of my rifles

What about this one... only moving a lot faster and pretend the top of the picture is the private boundary? (150yds, free hand?)

Spine

Yeah, put it at the base of the tail and dump him

Don't pull that shot any cause he's still be rolling.

You've got a target about the size of a snuff can

And it's moving at 150, gaining and being shot at free handed....
