I heard from another hunter that Mule Deer and Whitetails are crossbreeding in SE Alberta . I have never seen one so I can't confirm exactly what those crossbreeds would look like but based off your pics I would say that if I were to see one it would look like what your bud has got there. The face color and ears look like a Muley but the body is definitely whitetail. The right horn looks like the start of a normal whitetail horn and the left is just an abortion. It is an interesting find.
 
I liveout in the Stoughton SK area the other day i seen a nice 5by5 white tail buck chasing mule deer does around never seen that before!!! lol

Yup! It seems the first to get dropped are colour phase bears, albino anythings and promising nontypicals. There's no way of knowing what the future might look like.
 
Just a common cross-breed, WT and mule.
There is just one way that happens, a mule buck and a whitetail doe. I'm going from memory and I may have it backwards, but the point is, it is only one combination, not both ways.
 
Southern Sask and S.W. Manitoba harbor many whitetails and mulies. Quite often the crossbred animals are seen. Some have odd nontypical antlers and many I have seen have had one WT antler and one branched Mulie antler. But as in nature there have been many variances like albino and misshapen limbs and heads. Many antlers get damaged or broken during the velvet stage. Maybe the next year the antlers will be back to normal.
