At 135lbs, that has to be one of the smallest body mule deer that was eight years old that I have every heard of. Great looking horns. Thanks for the story and the photos. Congratulations on your successful hunt.

Congratulations on your successful hunt. the one we killed in 2018 dressed 208lbs as a 7 year old. All i can think of was he was born in a drought year and was stunted in perpetuity.
