CA Mule Deer

[BOHNTR]

I just spent the last 5 days camping in the Eastern Sierras over the long weekend. I can't remember it being so warm after a snowstorm....but it sure was. The BIG bucks aren't down yet so it seems.

Saw quite a few "medium" sized bucks. The best scoring buck I saw was a mid-170's net type 4x4.....up in the snow near 8000'. I also glassed one of the biggest forked horns I've ever seen.....about 31" wide with 5" G1's (eye-guards).

Here's some photos I took of the medium sized bucks. Hope you enjoy.





















These next two bucks have a lot of potential if they make it another season. How wide do you think this one is?





Here's a decent buck that has the genetics to become a great scoring buck. Give this buck two years and he'll be a smoker for California!

Bohntr,

Another set of pure inspiration, Man those are some truly awesome pics skyline and all.
I'm guessing 27" on the one.

Great pics Roy!!

You're right, those last two have everything it takes to become a couple real pigs.

As for the spread on the one youngster....looks to be around 27" to me. Very impressive!

Great Photo's Roy, looks like you had fun. I would say that wide buck laying down is right around the magical 30" mark.

Again awesome photo's.
