Re: Mule Deer Buck
I knew he was nice when I shot the footage and figured him in the low 180's. When I got home and looked at the vid I knew I under estimated him by a bit. His main beams are really good. I figured 27" beams and 25" to 27" inside spread. 3" eyeguards, 15" G2's 10" G3's, 10" G4's and mass at 5", 4", 4" 4". One bottom fork is a little weak, but I still think he will gross 190 or so. Good main beams and inside spread really add to the score.
Another thing is the body size of mature bucks from this area are huge. This buck will easily weigh 300+ pounds on the hoof. That will make the antlers appear to be a little smaller.

Re: Mule Deer Buck
From the cover pic of the video I was thinkin low 170's, then watched the video and I think you're close with mid-high 180's... his mass is good but not great and like you said a 'weak' front fork. But with the 'guards and his beams I'd put him around 188" gross. a FANTASTIC buck thats for sure! Love them big typicals!
