Title: GIANT MULEY SHED!
Post by: Elksong on March 21, 2012, 05:32:00 PM
This is a front range deer a co-worker found. I was told that if the other side of this shed scored close to this one with a realistic spread value........275"!

The year I lived in the springs we had a couple of guys like that hanging around the edge of town and in the Garden of the Gods. Getting up into the high country they became the rare exception. Glad to see there are still some great mule deer bucks left!

That is a fantastic shed, congrats on finding it! Like the other guys, I'd love to see a picture of that guy on the hoof!

It would be a treat to see that deer in the flesh, preferably with tag in pocket and him being about 15 yards away, feeding. Quite the buck.

DANG!

I would like to know the weight of that one antler - that is a hum-dinga for sure!

On the hoof - I am sure that some people would have that bad boy confused for an elk....

Hope someone finds the match (but I'd wager that it will be weaker scoring...)!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Post by: Mike Theis on March 21, 2012, 08:59:00 PM
They grow big on those front range suburb shrubbery don't they?

What a Monster!

I wonder how many have watched him all year only to have him slip through their hands one more year?

Wow, that is a nice find.  Any history with this buck???  I hope you find his other side.  Good luck hunting him.

Post by: Elksong on March 22, 2012, 07:24:00 AM
After talking to him some more, he also showed me a 230ish shed he had picked up! I guess these are suburban deer that live in his subdivision! They live inside the city limits so no hunting them. I would still like to get a picture of them this year.

we have a city not to far from me about 20 miles and they seem to average a Boone and Crockett road kill a couple times a year, big monster bucks roam the city at night urban deer are safe from predation and wow they seem to grow big

WOW! I have seen some big deer in the part of Colorado I am from, also the south eastern plains, but nothing like this guy. Check him for performance enhancing drugs!

I'm always amazed at how critters with big racks (deer like that, elk, bou, moose) ever can carry them and get around.

When living in MT, I jumped a few big elk in "doghair" (1-2" samplings thick as "doghair). They'd put their racks back and their nose up and run thru stuff I could hardly push thru with nothing but loud "clickity clack" as they departed post haste!

Criters are truly amazing!

WOW!!! Like Centaur said, "It would be a treat to see that deer in the flesh, preferably with tag in pocket and him being about 15 yards away, feeding. Quite the buck."
Except I wouldn't want to see his horns until after I'd shot him. Otherwise I'd be shaking like a teenager at a scary movie!

Whoa! Nice! I see some monsters here in Colorado Springs, but nothing quite that impressive...
Title: Re: GIANT MULEY SHED!
Post by: ChuckC on March 22, 2012, 07:59:00 PM
Could that be a hybrid (mule/whitetail) antler ?
