[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 338674, member: 505"] Bud, every mule deer hunter in the world uses outside spread. That is how they are field judged. Extremely wide mule deer do poorly in the B&C measurements because it is a deduction when the spread is wider than the main beam length. That is why mulies under 30" inside do so well in the books. I have seen a number of mule deer larger than Dougs but either they were to wide and the deduction brought them under his and/or sticker tines brought it down. It is extremely uncommon for a huge old age class mulie to not develop sticker tines that cost B&C points. B&C is for that perfect rack. I don't agree with it. If he grows it score it. I have hunted many times on the ridge where Doug got that #1 buck. A few years later me, Kurt Darner and a colorado DOW employee hunted one that looked just like him which was probably his son. Me and the dow guy hunted him with a bow but never got close enough for a shot. He was never seen on the winter grounds. We think a hunter hit him and lost him during the rifle season because there was talk from another texas hunter who said he shot one bigger than Dougs but never found it. A lion could have got him. Also a year later word got out that a local guy poached the largest mule deer anybody there had ever seen with a rifle between bow and gun season. Several guys interviewed had seen the rack but it had been disposed of when it got hot on the guy. [/QUOTE]
