Gavin Lovell was hunting during the early rifle season in the high country of Wyoming in 2004 and found this monster buck. This buck was hurt do to symmetrical deductions. Just what if that right side G-4 point would have evened out like the left side? Ouch! Gavin’s buck is 31 5/8-inches wide and officially scores 216 1/8 gross and 206 6/8 net typical B&C. Gavin’s velvet buck was featured in the Feb/March 2005 issue of Hunting Illustrated and also featured in the 2006 King’s Mule Deer Calendar
This buck was taken by Jason Gisi January of 2005. It is the new SCI World Record typical mule deer with a score of 221 2/8 SCI. It was taken fair chase in Mexico and is 35-inches wide. Just for comparison to the others listed here, this buck scores about 215 gross typical B&C. Jason’s awesome record typical buck was featured in our 2005 Special Winter Issue of Hunting Illustrated and also included in our 2006 King’s Mule Deer Calendar.
Wow! This magnificent mule deer was taken by Denny Austad in 2004. This buck is now the #3 record typical for Utah. It officially scores 221 4/8 gross, 209 7/8 net typical and is an amazing 40 2/8-inches wide. A true 40-inch typical buck. This buck has 31-inch main beams and a 33 6/8-inch inside spread. This buck has a true 218 3/8 gross typical frame. With no eyeguards and two cheaters on each side shows just how big this buck really is to still net score almost 210! Denny’s buck was featured in the March/April 2006 issue of Hunting Illustrated and also in the 2006 King’s Mule Deer Calendar.
What was the biggest typical mule deer taken during the 2005 hunting season? It was Jamie Gerein’s monster Saskatchewan buck. Pictures just don’t do this buck justice. Sporting a total gross score of 220, this buck has 3 3/8-inches of abnormal points. The official score is 216 5/8 gross and 210 2/8 net B&C. This 27 7/8-inch wide muley has main beams over 28-inches and inside spread of 15 1/8-inches. Jamie’s typical mule deer is one of the top bucks in all of Canada. It was featured in the July/August 2006 issue of Hunting Illustrated Magazine.
Myra Smith was hunting in Mexico in January 2006 and came away with the largest typical mule deer taken by a woman in the Boone & Crockett record books. Myra’s beautiful buck officially scores 213 5/8 gross and 210 2/8 net B&C and is over 38-inches wide. You can’t get much better than that when it comes to symmetrical - only 3 3/8-inches of total deductions. Myra was also wearing her favorite camouflage - King’s Desert Shadow! Myra’s record mule deer is featured in the new 2007 King’s Mule Deer Calendar and upcoming issue of Hunting Illustrated.
Last, but certainly not least is Randy Bedell’s amazing typical mule deer from 2005. This new British Columbia record typical buck has incredible tine length. The official score is 219 5/8 gross and 209 net typical B&C with an outside spread of 28 5/8-inches. The amazing part of this deer is the G-2 point on the right side is over 21-inches long. The G-2 on the left side is a full seven inches shorter. This is a clean 4×4 typical with eyeguards. Of the 9 5/8-inches of deductions, seven of them came just from the shortened left G-2 point. If this buck would have evened out on the left side G-2, I believe he would have been a new #2 typical in the world net scoring over 220! What a buck. Randy’s buck was featured in the May/June 2006 issue of Hunting Illustrated and also the new 2007 King’s Mule Deer Calendar.
