    Yes, a mule deer with a ridiculously large rack! I've seen Elk that would feel inadequate around this guy

    I think the pronhorn reference was a joke because the rack is quite large

    Mule or black tail. Unless taken in far NW, mule. Definitely not a white tail - main antler beam goes all the way to the top. These split and re-split. – TF

    This is a mule deer buck. The prong horn was a reference to the unusual side prong this fellow had on his upper tines.
