1 OF 15 — WYOMING MULE DEER

With the largest typical mule deer ever to come out of Sublette County, Wyoming, Michael J. Huish’s grin says it all. He killed this mule deer with a 6.5x284 shooting a 143-grain Hornady bullet at 325 yards in mid-September. Once the 60-day drying period ended, his deer scored 210-5/8 points and had a greatest spread of 31-2/8 inches. Huish's buck ranks at the top of the typical mule deer category for the 31st Big Game Awards entry period, with 7 months left before the entry deadline, we'll see if it keeps the top spot.

B&C SCORE: 210-5/8 points

LOCATION: Sublette County, Wyoming

YEAR TAKEN: 2020

HUNTER: Michael J. Huish

2 of 15 — ARIZONA DESERT SHEEP

Scroll through the records at Big Game Records Live!, and you’ll soon realize the mystery that surrounds desert sheep. More than a few of the top 25 entries are “pick-ups” or of unknown origins. One unknown entry goes back more than a century. 

Now, fast-forward to December 1, 2019. That’s when Michael S. Kentera’s 143-grain bullet from his 6.5 Creedmoor took this fine desert specimen in Pinal County, Arizona. His ram is the 19th in the All-time ranking, 12th for desert rams in the Lower 48 and the sixth largest to come out of Arizona.

B&C SCORE: 188-5/8 points

LOCATION: Pinal County, Arizona

YEAR TAKEN: 2019

HUNTER: Michael S. Kentera

3 of 15 — WYOMING PRONGHORN

Wyoming is synonymous with cowboys, wide open spaces, and really, really big pronghorn—the latter being why Ashton F. Harrow was in Carbon County in the fall of 2019. With those horns nearly hitting 17 inches long, his pronghorn ranks 74th overall and 16th for the state. He took this great buck with a 6.5x284 at 175 yards. His 6.5 was shooting a 140-grain Berger bullet.  As a youth hunter, 16 years old or younger when he harvested his pronghorn, Harrow will be invited to take part in the Club's Generation Next trophy display and banquet. His pronghorn currently ranks 5th in the 31st Big Game Awards Entry Period. If it holds that rank until the close of the entry period, it may also be invited to the Judges Panel.

B&C SCORE: 89-6/8 points

LOCATION: Carbon Co., Wyoming

YEAR TAKEN: 2019

HUNTER: Ashton F. Harrow
