here it is guys sorry but will have game and fish check out but I think it is, he was killed yesterday and will post a few pics from my phone and have more to come

I'd say your right to have it checked out.

Looks like a hybrid to me too, but whada I know.

Cool buck, congrats!

Wow! Sure looks that way to me too. Let us know what G&F says. Thanks for posting.

Has to be! Nice buck! Imagine seeing that frame on a deer flagging up the other side of a canyon on a whitetail hunt.

That's pretty cool.

 

I found a thesis the other day that discusses the genetic structuring of Coues deer in AZ and NM. It also touches a bit on the frequency of hybrids.

 

I'll attach it. May be of interest to some of you. I didn't look to see if Amanda already has it posted, so I apologize if I'm duplicating.

Cool buck. I have one that had a muley tail and body, but what many have said a coues looking rack. Warden that was at our camp said was a muley but because of antlers thought it possibly could be a hybrid. Was in an area that had both. Anyways intersting buck you got. Congrats!

Thanks Oak. I actually don't have it up anywhere, so thank you.

Did they measure the metatarsal gland on the outside of the hide leg? That's a pretty easy way to tell a hybrid based on the length of the gland.

I think that buck is a hybrid but what do i know!! Ok so say there is a hybrid whitetail that has freakishly huge antlers like 140+. And ofcourse it is a whitetail but it has muledeer antlers would it still go into the record books.

I spoke with a game and fish officer and measured the gland he will be a whitetail, congrats to Shaun you hunted this buck hard and it paid off

[Knifeboy]

Congratulations on a fantasic buck. We talk about a buck being unique every once in a while, but wow, I think you just took the cake with that one.

 

I have actually seen a nice Mule deer buck rutting with a Coues deer. Now I guess I have seen the aftermath.

Here you go, just got off the phone and was told by another officer that "He would have taken that deer from us if we were on a whitetail hunt, It's a mule deer" I just asked how with this deer, who cares what the horns look like. I just wish someone with AZGFD could give us a answer!!!!!!!!!
