Love me some Big Slough.

Biggest buck I've ever seen on public land in Texas was there about '94 or '95. I was within a second of pulling the trigger on him when a doe ahead of him saw me move and blew, taking him with her. He was an absolute swamp donkey with a rocking chair for antlers. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was one of the coldest mornings I've ever hunted in Texas.

Yessir there are some absolute warhorses cruisin that Neches bottom... And those polaroids at the store in Ratcliff sure do get the blood boilin!!

[Limbwalker]

Yup, some great genes and places to hide in there for a buck to get old and wise.

That's a beautiful blade!

Thank you much... all four inches of it are flawless, best piece ive ever picked up! Just layin there in the sand...

Anybody know a good camp close to 517?... supposedly theres some walnut creek camp but we never saw a glint of it

Are you sure its darl? The basal edges look really straight like they are slightly ground and the flaking looks collateral mid way to the tip. Both are uncharacteristic for darl but I really cant see it well enough in thoses pics. Awesome.

I've had two different guys look at it they both say Darl, but I don't know... I've never been good at classifying points.

Heres the recovery video

I was just looking at a map of the DCNF and the Big Slough Wilderness caught my eye. I was thinking about slippin in there one morning if it will ever cool off. As it is, id be trippin with sweat before i found a good tree to climb.
