Fantastic animal Randy. Congratulations! ! !!
As far as the deduction/multiplier. It's to square it off for everyone. Mule deer are significantly bigger than whitetails and Blacktails are smaller, the multiplier levels the field. It's off of P&Y minimums.
Regardless, it doesn't take away of how fantastic that animal is. Congratulations again. Oh, it comes in at 148" after the multiplier. That would make that a helluva whitetail.
