Whitetail? Northern UT

elkhuntn247 · May 5, 2011

I found a few horns while I was turkey hunting. one almost looks like a whitetail antler. I saw a thing saying there are whitetail in UT, and have been here for some time. I know someone who claims shooting at a whitetail buck close to the area I found this antler. but who knows right?

what do you guys think?

I would say it is a muley. Just a small forked horn with a brow tine. Just my opinion, but yes I have heard of Whitetails being in Northern Utah. My Grandpa shot one back in the 80's that was in Southern Utah, Fishlake.

DR H, I have never heard of a Utah whitetail being that far south. There have been reports of whitetails in the north of the state. That's a new one for me.

It was back in the early 80's. I will try to dig up the pic and post it. He was just a dinky little 5-point, or excuse me, I mean 10-point. Even in the late 80's I remember seeing a few killed by hunters. I don't know if it was the remnants of a small herd or what. I will have to ask my Father what the history behind it was.

Some people always have to pipe into the thread just so they can make them selves look bigger then everyone...
