re; magazine mulie.

Sheephunter, theres afew of us that are curious what Vannesa's mule went that is in the last issue of AO. A gross score would be great.

thanks, packhuntr.

Mabey we should play guess the gross and net score???? Anyone in???

Actually don't have a net score on him but we did do a gross score that night in camp....I know he fooled me. Give her your best guess and we can play the high/low game.



One hint is that he is just over 30" outside and don't forget those brow tines....over 6-inches there alone

I call it 168.
Tons of width, but it looks like the forks are not that deep.

Great buck. I love the width

Jamie

Low

i would put around 182

wthby

Still low.....his front forks are much better than they look in this photo and he has incredible mass.....plus that 6 inches of brow tine. He is a real fooler. I'm not so sure I'd have been so gracious and let Vanessa shoot him had I known his real score...lol

Not bad for a first buck...lol....bigger than anything I've shot.

Im throwin a gross in around the low to mid 180-s. Man, on a mule, those brows are a big bonus. They sure can clean up a bunch of deductions in a hurry if they look like that. Hes a beauty hey. Awesome first mule, no matter what he goes.

keep a strain on er, pack.

edit; those look like pretty awesom main beams.

wow, low hey. I was wrong thats for sure. Gotta love it when theres no groung shrinkage hey!!

Fine. If you going to play "hide the forks" How are we suppose to guess.
:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
Anymore pics?

Jamie

Im throwin a gross in around the low to mid 180-s.

Packhuntr, try just a wee bit higher

It was an amazing hunt whether it was a first mulie or not. I couldn't have done it without the help I had.

Just for Jamie!

WOW!

Give me a minute.. I will have to revise my score

Bouhuntress, great deer. Was Rich with you? He must have been the one helping. TJ cant help that much. Also sounds like a heck of a shot. I liked the part about the bale. We have used that trick also.

Nope Rich wasn't there but you know they say that even a blind pig can find and acorn now and then!

Looks like 191.
What did you guys guess it was out in the field?
Those back tines grow a bit.. (Welcome to Alberta) you are looking at over 200.
Problem with my Big one is great back tines and no front tines

Jamie

I guessed low to mid 180s gross...leaning more to the low side. I'll let bou fill you in on the real score...now that she's an AFGA scorer and all.

Actually in the field we gross scored him at 190 3/8. It was a really rough score but since I just finished my horn scoring course with Jack Graham, I can't wait to get a tape on him.

Ya, hes a smasher alright, probuably 60 inches of main beams alone. MISES LUCKY!!!! let us have it!! Pack.

I'm going high 190's....wow, nice deer!

Duh...totally missed her reply.

B

Great buck Bou,a real lunker.


Good job guiding TJ.

Seems like you found a acorn tree on this one.:lol

Quite a first mulie yes but this was her first buck of any species. My first buck was a tad smaller if I recall.....lol...glad that was a long time ago and my memory is going. Pretty sure my first buck would have scored about 30 but he was an honest 1x1.

:lol :lol

Would have been a great entry into the spoon & cricket club eh? Too funny.

B

ya...if it was shot with a bow I could have entered it in "Poke one Young"

:lol :lol

Man her deer is a whopper of a first deer...she can concentrate on whitetails next as she'll be a lifetime trying to top that one i bet!

B

Hate to tell ya Blake but she killed two whitetail bucks last year and one was a big 5x5 that was over 150.

Great timing Bou! Congrats on the amazing start!

I had a similar start with a 164 6x6 whitetail and 20 11/16" black bear in my first 3 big game animals before i turned 16. Dad was into it real heavy back then and reason i got such a good start. Life took me out of it since then until about 5 yrs ago when i picked it back up again and started with the bow...a few pope deer later i'm more than happy with my successes to this point. Its an awesome 'lifetime' sport with a never ending supply of new challenges to keep it interesting. You keep hangin with Sheep & friends and pretty soon you'll have more animals than wall space by the sounds of things. Cool.

Blake

Thanks Blakeinator!

I sure have had an amazing first season...190 mulie, 150+ white-tail, 19" black bear...and now I'm hooked for life Although I can certainly wait for the taxidermy bill...LOL.

I definitely couldn't have done it without Sheeps help!

Just can't wait to get going again soon. First thing on the agenda...sporting clays at Silver Willow!

WOW that is a HUGE mulie and for it to be her first buck of any species, can i borrow the 4 leaf clover shes got.

As for a score im gunna say mid-high 190's

NICE!! You keep showin' the boys up, and they won't want to play with you any more :lol
