Mule deer genes

[MuleyHunter]

I have hunted the same unit all of my life here in Colorado and have been very fortunate to have taken (or even found sheds and deadheads) some amazing animals. I just wanted to share two bucks, one from 1986 that I took with my bow when I was 16, and a set of sheds I picked up in 2017 while going in to pack out my son's 2nd season bull he killed the night before. You can definitely tell they are related especially by there front forks.


Here is the 1986 buck.

If they all came from the same area, you can bet that they share some common genes.

All the same area and just a couple miles from each other..... Just years apart !
