senor benado Report post Posted March 5, 2004 A CO-WORKER OF A FRIEND KILLED AN ENORMOUS BUCK IN 24 THIS YEAR AND I AM ALMOST CERTAIN IT IS A CROSSBRED DEER. ALL POINTS COME OFF MAIN BEEM BUT APPEARED WIDE AND TALL LIKE A MULEY ; NEEDLESS TO SAY I BELIEVE HE SAID IT SCORED APROX. 120+. NOT TOO BAD FOR A 3 BY 3 . I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE A SEPARATE CATEGORY FOR SUCH A DEER.I GUESS THIS WOULD BE TOUGH TO DO W/O DNA SAMPLES. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coueshunter Report post Posted March 5, 2004 To my knowledge there is no seperate catagorey because it is a Hybrid. Sounds like a nice buck. I have shot a few muley/blacktail crosses that are nice bucks but because of the genetic cross couldnt be recognized as either blacktail or muley......

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 8, 2004 Hi Senor Benado, There is a guy doing some research right now on Coues/muley hybrids. He has collected samples from all over for DNA testing and he might be willing to test your friend's deer. Send him an email and ask if he is still taking samples and that you think it may be a hybrid. rglopez@fs.fed.us Also, here is a link to an article on my website about hybrids. It was written by a research biologist from AZGFD. Hybrid Article Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
