BuckTracker: End of Mulie Week!
By Scott Bestul
I mentioned that the 30” spread is an understood benchmark for a lot of mulie fanatics. While that is certainly some serious width, we all have our personal tastes when discussing our dream antlers. I’m partial to great mass and long tines. To me, mass means age, and tall points mean….well, I have no idea, but I know I like them.
The buck above is probably as close to my dream mulie as it can get. The tines are towering. The beams are beefy. There’s even a little funky junk in there. I don’t know if this buck would merit the mythical 30-inch-spread mark...but if I ever spotted a buck like this in a hunting situation, I would speak in strange tongues and drool all over myself. Then I would pray for the chance to shoot it. You can always break out the tape measure later.

I know for a fact I would NOT pass on that one! That is one big deer.
Thats one heck of a buck, looks like he might have broken off some of that right antler. He sure looks beat up, wonder how old he is. Do you have anymore information about the picture?
Just the pic got me drooling on myself. Holy crap thats a nice Mulie!!
Nice buck. I see she didn't forget to freshen up the lip gloss for the photo....
Another Buck of a lifetime. Nice looking Lady too.
Nice heavy horned old Bruiser.
Wow! Forget the score ... that old bad boy has a story to tell. Wonder what his opponents look like. Well, his last one is definitely happy.
nice mulie
I too want to know how old he is. Any hunter that would pass on him is a dumbass.
Wa Mtnhunter, what's the matter with you? Gals freshen their lip gloss while they're driving so what's different here?
he meets my standards of a trophy. i'd pull the trigger in a heart beat. congrats to the lovely lady.
I agree with del!
let them go so they can grow.... see it works, nice buck
That left beam is crazy big. I'd also babble in foreign tongue of I had that thing in my sights.
noone would pass up on that. the mass is amazing!
Congrats! That's a once in a life time buck! I hope someday I could take a trophy like that!
That is one monstrosity of a buck.
when i saw that picture, i peed a little.
Must say I can't blame her for shooting him. I'd a shot'em too, even on opening day! Congratulations are in order!
