That's 100% Mulie no question. And it's not even a hybrid, it just didn't grow it's top fork. People will try and make an article out of anything. I've seen a lot of smaller mule deer bucks look just like that.

I also hunt for meat. And for the sheer joy I get from hunting. I don't care if others hunt for trophey's. I would hope they would at least donate the meat for others.
But I have to ask. What is wront with Mulie deer meat?

I guess for people who hunt for trophies this might be good news, but for people who hunt for meat this is not good at all. We have mule deer moving into Ohio, and I'm all for moving them right back out. Leave my tender, yummie whitetail alone!
For the record, as someone who hunts to stock my freezer, I don't appreciate those who hunt to decorate their walls.

How do you justify killing things you don't eat to the people trying to take away your rights to hunt? You're insulating your walls? I don't hunt bear because it's too greasy, I can't eat it. I justify hunting whitetail because I eat four of them a year. I can justify everything I kill beyond decorating my walls.
Oh, and for the record to stay on topic I too believe that buck is 100% mule deer. It isn't unusual for mule deer to grow racks that look like that. Bad gonads or not.
