3C Mule Deer Sucess!

[gmcbob]

Just want to share.....

 

I was fortunate to fill my tag and take this mulie in 3C.

 

Spot and stalk, first thing in the morning. Was extremely surprised to see other deer that I didn't know about jump up and run after the shot.

 

I considered this a 2x2, but am getting different feedback. Maybe it is a regional thing. Do you "count" the eyeguards?

 

Now I just have to decide shoulder mount, or european.

Congras that a nice lookin deer

 

Its a 2x2. Its a huge 2x2 at that.

[Couzer]

Nice Buck man!!!!!!

 

Yep a very nice 2X2!!!! You count the eye guards when you score it out in inches. Whitetail on the other hand you do count the eye guards, so if that was a coues it would be the biggest 3x3 i have ever seen

Great looking buck!

[Gr8 White Jr]

Holy smokes!!! I would call that a 2x2, a HUGE 2x2! Very nice buck! No way on the european mount, that buck is definitely worthy of a shoulder mount. Congrats on a great muley!

Congrats on the Great Forky! Coues or Mulie that is a 2 pointer in my region ! I was up there Helping my brother and cousin on that hunt. My brother missed a shot on a nice 4x opening morning. My cousin Did finally get a shot and took a Spike on the last day he could hunt last Monday.

 

I did see a GMC HD with Utah Plates and a coueswhitetail.com sticker up there. That would'nt have happened to be you was it?

Wow, congrats! That is one sweet muley. And I can say from experience, bucks like that were few and far between in 3c this year. You did very well. You should be proud of that awesome trophy!

I would call it a forked horn or two-pointer. Eyeguards on both mule deer and whitetails are not counted in what has come to be known as "western count." Also, usually, only the best side is considered.

 

For example, a rack with three tines and an eyeguard on one side and two tines and an eyeguard on the other would be a three by two or a "three-pointer."

 

"Eastern count," that same buck would be a seven-pointer.

 

The eastern method also counts every bump "long enough to hang a ring on" as a tine, so if that eastern-count seven-pointer had a one-half-inch bump and a 3/4-inch gnarly thing growing on it, it would be called a nine-pointer. Here, most hunters ignore a bump unless it's a clearly defined tine at least an inch long.

 

In "western counting" elk, the eyeguards are counted.

 

Nice deer, Bob. Congratulations.

 

I cannot remember how many times I've shot an animal (or at an animal) and spooked others I'd not known were there. That's why I smile when I hear people say someplace has little game because they spent all day glassing it and saw very few deer, pigs or whatever.

Wow thats one heck of a forky congrats on a nice buck

[azcoues]

2x2 in my neck of the woods too both muley and whitetail and I noticed a couple of guys used the term forky I thought a forky basically a two point without eye guards there is so many terms people say for points on deer u never really know how big it is until u see a pic pretty interesting a buddy of mine went hunting with me once to 36b and came back to camp saying he got a 5 pointer i said is it big he said big buck i went to help him get it out and it was a little 2x2 with 1 eyeguard about 6 inches wide i just chuckled and said it was a two pointer and he disagreed we argued about that all weekend,pretty funny.

Congrats! That is a beautiful buck! Go with the Shoulder Mount.

[Rag Horn]

You know maybe it is a regional thing cuz I would call it a fork horn …………. A FREAKIN HUGE FORK HORN…. well done....

[NavajoHunter]
