Got a call from the taxidermist yesterday afternoon. He finished up the mount from my muley. Haden't put a tape on him previously other than checking for width. He grossed 158 even.

28.5 wide, and all of the circufrence measurements were 4" or bigger.

Very nice! I'm assuming you got him in Wyoming. What part of the state?
 
Re: 2009 mule deer mount

Kind of wierd genetics in that area. A lof of the muleys right in that area stay as 3 points but get really good mass. about 30 % of the time you can find them with 4 plus brow tines, but they don't seem to get the mass or quite as much width. 2 years back I saw one that was obviously an older deer probably 26 wide, and about as high that was only a 2 point.

Very nice deer. My 2009 hunting season got replaced with shoulder surgery so nothing to hang on the wall here.
