Have any of you taken whitetail bucks with split beams or tines and do you have pictures of the deer. Reason i'm asking is alot of people on other forums saying my grandpa's 12 pt. buck is a mulie when it's a whitetail. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/hoosierhunter06/grandpabensdeer001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

That's a Mule Deer - 99% sure.

It has all the makings, No Brows - Forked G2s -good width.

I would have to agree. It is a muley!

Forked G-2's and short brow tines...

There is no question that is a mule deer.

Any chance it is a cross bred?

where was the deer shot, for instance you wont see a mulie in Wisconsin? Is your grandfather around for you to ask and make sure it is a whitetail, or are you going by word of mouth "passed down" kind of records.

no he died on oct. 31 1989 he took this deer in indiana a friend of the family has a pic of the deer but dosen't know where he put it he does remember four other guys where gunning for him in nov. of1976 when he was taken my uncle to shot a buck in 2001 that had a split tine on one side and i'm watching one like that know.

Blacktail deer....I say this because of the split main beamsand the curled "eyeguards" But most likely a mulie....

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but here is a buck I shot in 2005. By the way that rack looks awfully like a muley to me.

Here is my whitetail from 2006 Ohio with split G-2's






Yours does look like a mulie...
