BOHNTR

The range you're referring to (zone D-12) has some true desert mule deer......although the numbers are low. This is arid desert country that doesn't receive a lot of rainfall.......even in the monsoon season. I live in the unit and have measured several rifle bucks (a few archery) taken from this unit over the last 25 years. Deer grow to maturity in this unit, as it is extremely remote and inaccessible (except foot) in many areas. A 165-180" buck is not unheard of. The state record archery typical mule deer is from this unit (182" net).....the #3 non-typical is from this unit as well at 191" net. Most deer are along the river north and south of Blythe.......but there are also deer well within the unit near Desert Center and Chiriaco Summit. There are NO wild pigs of any type (except humans) in any of the unit or high mountain ranges above Palm Springs. Wish there was, but there's not.

10 may have it's own issues.......have you seen the press release from the BR on their newly implemented trespass fees? From what I've seen (measured), 27 has been well represented the last few years.

Nice mature buck, my friend! Hope all is well........stop on by whenever you're out this way.

Great Coues buck! Congratulations.

RELAX guys......sheeeeesh. He already said it was a shooter for him but he simply wants to know what it might measure.

Way to go, young man! Not a bad desert muley at all.

I bet you're excited.......if you lived closer to me, I'd measure him for you. Let us know what he comes out at.

Drying period is long over.........what did he officially measure at?

You can't order it "on-line". You can, however, download their order form, fill it out, and send it in. They are pretty quick at the return..........or just stop at any Walmart and buy it there.

Checked one that was reportedly taken in the Kofas.......giant!

Carlton's Cat Paws.......

What an absolute TOAD of a Coues buck.........big time congratulations!

Found some going crazy in unit 1........a bruiser at that. But they were pretty much done singing by 0830.

Way to go, kid! Congratulations on a fine mule deer.

What an awesome looking main-frame 3x4......don't know about 191", but it's one heck of a buck!

Any buck arrowed in the back-country is a trophy, IMO. Congratulations!

Absolutely, I do.

He had EVERY intention of doing what he did......and simply finally got caught. He is truly a legend in his own mind, and not what today's bowhunter should represent, IMO.

Any of the Bundy clan (Larry, Kory, Clay, Breck) will serve you well......at a lower price. McClendon crew would also serve you well.

Wish I was closer.......I'd love to measure him. Good looking buck!

Have you had him measured by P&Y?

Net around 120".......young buck.

Are all you boys and girls going to the P&Y Convention this Spring? It's in your backyard and a perfect time to attend if you've never been. I hope to see you all there.

I was told John stripped the velvet and plans on sending it to panel in February.......I can't wait to measure it there. We'll see where it ends up. Heck of a mule deer and a gentlemen of a bowhunter.

I'm most definitely not a Coues expert.......and even though I've officially measured many, I still have trouble field judging them at times. They all look small to me compared to mule deer. I had this one come in to a hidden, natural water source I know of away from roads and people. Had him come in before I could legally hunt him (end of December) and took this photo. So, how big is he? His beams look exceptional, but I'm not quite sure about the rest. Thought I'd leave it to the experts here and see what you think.
