Very good story and stud of a muley! Congrats!!

2019 was a great year and I sure enjoyed reading about your hunt. It don't get much better.

Man that is an incredible deer!!

Thanks again everyone.

Sorry Stub I missed your question. That hole probably is from fighting. That side of the rack had been broken into the skull in a previous year. You can see how it is larger at the base on that side and grew back differently after it healed up. My guess is he probably broke that hole antler side out of his skull at some time. I have seen WT bucks break an antler out their skull and grow weird antlers on that side for a year or two. I have seen them break that side out of their skull every year after the first year also. Some heal up and never break that antler side out again just have abnormal antler growth on that side. I think this bucks very nontypical left antler is a result from some type of skull/pedicle damage at some point in is his life.

stud of a deer and great write up ... I was visualizing completely, even a bit of buck fever leading up to the shot, then the adrenaline rush following the shot but not seeing the deer drop. Great friends are hard to come by but sounds like you have one for sure.

Great story! Wonderful buck! Thanks for sharing!

Great write up and awesome buck! Had me on the edge of my seat. Well done to you and your friend. Friends like that are hard to come by these days.

Thanks again everyone

holy cow, I mean muly

That's a stud for sure! Great write up and awesome friend you have there!

Thanks again.

All the way around that is a great tale. Did I miss the gross score?

Got my MD mount in the house finally and put it next to my WT mount...both were killed last year.

As has been said by many, they are both TREMENDOUS Trophies, but for what its worth, Ill take the WT ALL DAY LONG!!! Thanks for posting that setup. Helpful to have them in perspective with each other etc.

STX great writeup and pics. Congrats on a very cool buck.

Nothing like closing the deal on a buck you have history with and sharing the hunt with a great friend.

Great story, deer and mount!

Great year! Congratulations!

Great deer and just super write up. I felt I was almost there when you fired but could not see the deer. What else can one say about your friend and the hunt, Just great.

Thanks again everyone

Awesome buck, and awesome story Sir.
