The type of body needs to match that of a big buck also, big muscular shoulders, rump and neck, swayed back. Big track, like real big as all mule deer tend to have tracks much larger than your average wt. A buck with a strong score needs to have long spilts especially on the fronts. Crab claws are a score killer. If its not wide it needs to be tall, real tall. Mass is nice but its the least important.
All good tips thanks! Always been a meat hunter primarily, have shot a couple animals that wouldn't score shit but I believe they were in the prime of their maturity. I'm cool with any mature animal animal regardless of score. I thought he was decent in the video, live action with him standing beside 6 does he looked much bigger! Like twice the body size, way bigger hooves, was standing broadside 70 yds away looking my way. I would guess mid 20"s inside, high 20"s outside spread? Seemed pretty tall in person as well. Any guesses?
