Well then I'd officially change my answer to "Mule deer". Yellowstone is certainly not blacktail range unless someone released them there. Since Blacktail and Mule deer will mate across species even if they were released they would be absorbed into the Mule deer population.
As I stated before, they are very closely related and can look a lot alike. It seems that the one in the pic is indeed a Muley "with character".
His rack looks a lot like the non-typical Blacktail that BOHNTR harvested this last season though, don't it?

Going off of the pic and the location you mentioned I would lan toward Muley. I could be wrong, but as fa as I know there are no Blacktails in that area. His face looks Muley the color of his horns look darker like Blacks, but I think they are wet. he looks like about a 3 or 4 (maybe 4 1/2) year old buck, which means he has some great non-typ genetics if he can make it a few more years.
