Shot my lifetime mule deer!

[dodgefreak8]

Well I think I shot my lifetime mule deer today. Sorry not long range. He was only 20yards and I got him with my Ruger 270 with 140gr accubonds. I would appreciate if some of you experts could give me an idea of score? I didn't take any measurements before I took him to the taxidermist. thanks!

Guessing mid 190's. Hard to tell without a width measurement.

Thanks guys. Outside to outside of the kickers was exactly 30" that's the only thing I measured. Wish I would have measured inside spread

A very good buck anywhere I've been! The tape is interesting, but sometimes good enough is good enough.

Great buck, congratulations!! Hard to tell the score from the picture, but I would guess in mid 180's with all the stickers. I wouldn't worry too much about the score though. That buck gets an A++ in looks!

Congratulations! Very nice deer from someone who has never hunted a mulie.

I think 180's.

Nice deer!!

How did the accubond perform???

The first shot dropped him. It went through both front shoulders and took out both lungs. They were jello when we gutted him. Not knowing where I hit him I gave him a quick second shot from about 10 yards with his back facing me. It went through his spine and we found that bullet in the hide on his chest. It weighs exactly 90gr. I think it performed pretty dam well considering the very short shot distance.

I got all the pics finally this morning. Here is one a little more straight on.

I got a chance to measure him up today. He grossed 203" and net 187".

That's a beast! Who cares about the net score, you just shot the mythical 200" mule deer!
