      My daughter killed this one before Christmas last month. Hudspeth County.
      Very nice typical. I have not scored him personally, but he was scored at 194 and change and 195 by two different people. Proud dad!

      On a different note, send up a prayer for her if y’all have a minute. Her best buddy was finishing up training to be a firefighter at academy and something went wrong and he passed away. Tremendous young man. Been a tough few days for a lot of folks.
      **** Jim, hate to hear that, Prayers sent.

      On a side note, I can smell that bucks eye from here!

            It don’t take long after that till they have greasy mayonnaise running out of their eyehole and you can smell it when you walk up on them. Tests your gag reflex when you cape them!

                  Thanks! I still go into my office just to look at the horns and pick them up with a smile on my face. It’s probably my proudest hunting moment. I realized how big he was as I walked up to him, until then I just knew he was big.

                  Here is the story.



                  Going to try and put something together for TPWD. The TPWD biologist said he thinks it’s one of the biggest deer antler-wise to be taken off the WMA (see pics I’m trying not to put the name anywhere). He had trail cam pics of him in velvet. The wide buck taken by the ATM guys was 7.5 and probably 240 lbs.

                  The rut was in FULL swing. That was the only buck I saw, but others saw quite a few. Heck I hunted Kerr WMA a few years back and saw a handful of deer the entire trip. Between the three of us, we shot a spike. I feel like you just have to get lucky and hunt when the deer are actually moving.

                              The two things I will always regret are not getting better pictures and the taxidermist I let do the mount. How's Mr. David? I bet he's complaining about not being able to chase a sand bass!
