(OLM Wire Services- 11/12/09)
Tim "Tag" Taggart bagged what he claims is a record mule deer buck.
The deer, killed over on Big Mallard Creek during the early archery hunt, has " bigger horns then ever seen on a muley", according to Tag.
Tag came into the town with the huge buck in the back of his truck so he could show the townsfolk the record.
Tag Taggart with his record muleyWhen asked how he knew it was a record, Tag responded " Ya ever seen a muley with horns as big as these here?" When the answer was no, Tag replied, "there ya have it."
When questioned on the possibility that it might be an elk, Tag invited this reporter up to take a look. " Ha! Look at this here. Whut does this here tag affixed t' the antler say? Read it good and loud. Loud nuff fer everone t' hear!"
"It says,Official Mule Deer Tag only. Not for use on Elk."
"Well there ya go."
"Looks like it's legal folks. Tag Taggart has a Record Muley!!", responded this reporter.
The cheering was as loud as has ever been heard in Lagerville, well, since the cheese truck crashed, anyway.
"Wait til Lud Morgan hears about this!" yelled one bystander as the crowd dispersed.
