SALT LAKE CITY — Utah is known for having world class skiing, being the home of the Sundance Film Festival and for housing multiple national parks. However, many people may not realize that Utah also produces some giant mule deer.

The deer included are a collection of some of the biggest scoring deer shot by bow in Utah over the past several years. These deer include typical and non-typicals. A typical is usually defined as a deer with four points on each side of its antlers. A non-typical deer is usually defined as having more than four points on each side of the antlers.

Four of these deer will also be on display at the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo. The Expo will be held at the Salt Palace from Feb. 13-16. The deer will be showcased at the Tines Up booth.
