I had my taxidermist (official P&Y Measurer) check him out, he confirmed it.

I think you're maybe not realizing how long the G2 Splits are. I can't remember off the top of my head, but with both splits combined he gained something like 13 inches.

That is a great buck! His coloring and antler configuration looks like a mix of a Mule Deer and Whitetail. He will look really nice on the wall!

Thanks! I also think that since he had such a huge neck and head, that it made the antlers seem not as big. I had him in barn along with some 140s and 150s, and thats when I realized how big he was.

I know! Weird! That's why he's been named Muley and Mr. Mule.

I'm doing a rotating pedestal mount for him so I can turn him and show off his G2 splits.

Every bit of 182". That is a stud of a buck man! There are sometimes when I wish I still lived there, but I got to roll with the changes. P.S. By the way, don't tell that guy from Vermont that asked on page one where this is at.....lol!

LOL, Just this year on the road that I take going to the property where I killed Muley, I've seen New York, Missourri, Vermont, Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Indiana-- all within a mile of me!
