He showed mule deer scores because the deer in the pictures is a mule deer.
Yes he was hunted on private land, but luckily the people around where I grew up will usually let a hunter on their property if they ask. It takes 8-9 years to draw a rifle tag out there, and over 6 for ML or archery tag. We had a severe drought the last two years, and I'm surprised any buck that large was found.
I doubt he'll loose over 20" after the drying period so he'll make book. The guy who shot him only said that the deer would make book, and would submit the deer. Neither he or I expected any records to be broken.
