Well, we're getting closer. Whitetail deer, not Mule Deer, not Elk. They are collected all the time, by everyone, everywhere.


Most likely Mule Deer, White Tail are not indigenous to that part of Wyoming.

I agree. Doubt there are any whitetails around GTNP.

Yep, mule deer. No question about it. Good composition, i like the way you set up the photo. No harm done-no theft if you left it where you found it.

Boy scouts collect huge numbers of elk antlers at the National Elk Refuge every year a few miles from Grand Teton National Park, where many of the elk come from. They are sold for many uses. The park in Jackson has two large arches made of them. They are not in short supply.

I have to agree to disagree with you on this one Dennis. Single main beams with points growing off those beams. Whitetail, I'd put money on it! And I've shot a bucketful of each too!

Wyoming Game and Fish reporting that White Tail are encroaching on Mule Deer territory--probably in Jackson Hole area.

It isn’t worth betting on. I know it is a mule deer and you know it is a white tail deer. I’m good.

For me it is a three point mule deer whose lower points simply haven’t forked yet. They may never. No matter.

Have a great day,

Dennis

The word, probably, can mean a million different things.
