There has actually been two big bucks taken so far this year with the Gov. Tags. Nevada state hunter Tommy Ford just took a monster non-typical mule deer that is scoring 246 gross. This buck is not very wide, probably not even 24-inches, but is very tall and has a lot of in-line points that are scoring machines.
John Gisi also took a monster out of New Mexico recently. This buck scores 260 gross and has a huge typical frame. The main beams have got to be close to 30-inches long and the typical frame pushing 220. What a great buck.
Both of these bucks were taken in the velvet.
