Whitetail or muley....or...?

Recommended Posts

The other day, I glassed up a doe and spike in our WT area. I thought for sure I was looking at whitetails, but did notice the large ears.

What do you think?

Then they showed me the rope tail.

I've heard the hybrid theory from several people, but have not seen the evidence. I haven't hunted muleys in a long time, but the facial markings on this spike looks whitetail to me. What do you think?

Carp deer, er... Mulie. Facial markings alone say mulie, tail just confirms it.

The muzzle markings are what got me. The white ring around the nose and the black splotch on the lower jaw look just like my WT mounts.

The tail and ears are definitely muley. Better be sure before the shot.

It is a mule deer. I have seen and taken pics of Hybrids and posted them on here if you are curious.
