South Dakota Mule Deer

Here is a photo of my 2009 SD mule deer. Scored 205 gross. If he would have had a good front end, he would have pushed B&C nontyp. 19 points.

This was a DIY on private land. We were only hunting on a quarter section but it was a milo field and the deer loved to feed there in the morning. I shot him with my weatherby vanguard .243. Made the switch to a 30-06 Tikka T3 this year as I'm left handed and my .243 was right.

I've tried to put a picture up of this years deer but the size is too big and I'm not sure how to make it big instead of an attachment. The deer I got this year was just as unique

Ok I figured it out. This guy is a 23 point non typical that goes 193 net. Both G3s are broke along with some extras which would have pushed him up around 200 with a clean rack. He's real narrow, 16 inch inside spread, but tall and heavy. G2s are 17 inches.
The whitetail is a buch my grandfather took the very next day about a mile from where I got my mulie. His buck has nearly 40 inches of mass measurements total and grosses 143 as a 5x4 (basically a 140 inch 4 point). We received freezing rain that night and the deer was covered with ice, even the horns. It was a great weekend to be out.
