Wow—Wow
I’ve lived and hunted Mt. my entire life. I spend a lot of time in one of the few areas set aside as a trophy muley area in the state(no luck to draw the coveted tag yet) while hunting elk we see on average about 25-30 mulie bucks in the course of our week in a semi secluded good area. Point—I have photos of most all of the big ones, and they are beautiful, none however, typical or non, score 207! With the exception of Mr. Dotson,(who’s fathers animal was put on display as the trophy it is) I don’t believe a word of your horn pile crap, and while its true hunting is becoming a bit more of a “rich mans game” what hard hunting good ole montana boy would’nt want his recognition for competeing with them using good old skill and work, Try as I might (for nearly 30 serious years) I am yet to register any critter in the book but I’ve got a photo album and memories mounted on my walls that I can’t help but think beat the #$@% out of your supposed rack piles. Yes I’am braggin I worked my tail off and loved every bit of it. If its tossed in a horn pile its obviously no trophy!!!! Mr. Lords if you infact have harvested the three mulies you described don’t waste your time posting pictures here, many a good hunting magazines would pay you for your photos and stories get in touch with one soon I look forward to the feature. Next time blow me away with the truth, thanks

The deer comments are quite interesting. Two of the biggest Mule deer ever killed in Montana were both killed in Richland County Montana. One by Joe Berzel and the other by Buster Dotson. Both Deer still rank in the top 10 and are not only large but very beautiful non typical deer. My friend Monty Berzel and I each have the heads our dads killed and have the pictures to show them. The deer head my dad shot hung in the Buckhorn Bar in Agusta Montana and has been seen by big game hunters and drooled over for many years. If this outdoor blog would like me to post a picture I would be glad to do so.

To all of u so called state record holders out there here is a big B.S. to you. If they are dead and out in your shed and you dont care about the size of the rack, then why did u shoot them and not a younger tastier buck if it was for the meat. I bet half of the so called 35 inchers dont even go 185 B&C. Go look at this deer in person then resubmit your findings, I would bet after holding this deer in your hands you would agree that yours is not in the same league.

Some people’s kids…. well that deer got its credit, as it should. I use to see alot of 180+ mule deer like 10 years ago. this state and its managment has gone down hill. poaching! outfitting, pay hunting, all account for it. what can be done? I know for a fact, (I hunted quite possible the new state record this year with my bow) my hunting buddy has seen this above rack, the buck we hunted was straight, mass, ect. 35′’ wide. no one killed him, I didn’t hunt him during rifle since I shot a nontypical 190′’ 6×8 mule deer the day before going after him… can’t wait tell next year….records are made to be broken, lets make it a home boy not a freaken-out-of-stater!!!!!

Josh you are either full of it or you are hiding something,I think more to the former.You have two bucks 35 inches tall????Prove it,how are you measuring them??The tallest buck ever killed is 26 inches tall,and for all you guys that claim you have deer as big as this one better check yourselves,do you know how much a rack like that is worth??Why are hunting if you dont give the deer credit?(throw the horns in a pile)If you are hunting for meat dont kill those big bucks,leave them for somebody that truly appreciates them!!I dont beleive a word several of you have stated

Jand’s comment is so fitting and sadly, true. How is it possible for people like Chuck Adams to take a record Elk, Mule deer, and Whitetail deer every year on public land fair chase?
And to all of you people out there with racks so much bigger than this. Did you poach them also and are afriad to bring them into the light? There is no way that 7 out of the 16 posters here have LEGALLY taken deer larger than this awesome animal.

I am so sick of hearing of all this boone and crockett crap. With all the outfitting and land being leased to cater to rich out of state people, these records mean nothing. People need to realize hunting is going to be reserved for only the rich. These hunting magazines and so called “experts” are ruining their own sport. They go on outfitted hunts and claim to be experts. They are only paying for someone to find animals for them, then killling them. Hunting is actually finding game yourself, the harvest is the least important thing. Money should never change hands, the wild life belongs to the public. BOONE AND CROCKETT MAY HAVE MEANT SOMETHING YEARS AGO, BUT IT MEANS NOTHING NOW. Lets work together and quit supporting paid “killing” now or else real hunters will hunt no more.

i know a kid who might have the new state record. no nonsense either. he was alot like some of you guys above who haven’t had their mule deer scored. he wasn’t going to until the taxidermist did a quick green score and told him to come pick his deer up and contact B&C, because he was propably holding the new state record and just maybe a chance at the world record also. so my point is take care of these “racks”, and have someone score them. im sure if you don’t want your name in the papers and what-not, you can have them submitted anonymously. a side note: the world record is not much larger than our MT state record. i belive it is 226 7/8, so why not take a stab at it. unless you are all bluffing. lol
