Hybrid?

On a new lease near san angelo and this guy showed up the other day. I thought he was a spike at first but his tines are barely forked at the tips. So my question is, is this a mule/whitetail hybrid or just an extremely pale whitetail with unique characteristics?

Agree with the rest whitetail

Yep, WT
