I’m always interested in mule deer bucks and I just love to look at pictures of them.  Pictures are pretty much how I get to see the really big boys anyway.  When out hunting I don’t usually get far enough off the road to be where they are and if I do get a look at one it is usually as it is running over the crest of a hill.

There is a lot of talk today about how Utah can manage our deer herds and get the buck to doe ratio up so that we might all be able to take a “keeper” type buck.  Frankly I could care less about a set of racks on the wall, I have plenty, even spikes are trophies to me.  I’ll shoot the first legal buck I see normally.

In my search for muley antler growth I came across a very interesting article written by a man named Charles Kay.  I know nothing about his back ground as I did not investigate that.  However, you might be interested in the article he wrote and is published on “wildlifeforidaho.com”  A very interesting read and the author writes as if he knows what he is talking about.

It at least makes me think about how Utah is going about things, good or bad.

The last picture in the article looks just like a big bruiser of a buck that could easily be found in the Crawford Mountains this fall…No Grimace, Baby Boy, would either of you take a shot at this one?
