Big Backyard Buck!

[randal]

Back in Belton high school around 2003 a guy brought in a buck to the Ag barn one morning he had shot with a bow. He said he got it in Hamilton that morning (this was at like 9 AM). Eventually we found out he had poached it from Morgan’s Point. It looked very similar to the buck in the OP. This was before anyone had cell phones so I didn’t get any pics.

We had a 157” 13 point running around our place a long time ago that ended up getting shot but a guy that lived in Morgan’s point that his house backed up to our property.. guy shot it from inside his house..

Did he get caught? Wonder if it was the same incident.

Time line sounds about right, no he didn’t get caught. My dads cousin told us about this big deer that someone he knew shot, a few years later he said that guy told him that what actually happened is he saw it in his backyard a lot before the season and ended up shooting it after the season opened..

Super Backyard Buck there!

Unreal deer, there is a series on YouTube where the guys hunt in huge city's with their bows and the caliber of deer they kill is absolutely unreal. makes me think we have been chasing the wrong property the whole time.

Backyard Buck

I live in Morgan's Point and have seen that buck a couple of times this year in my neighborhood. I took these with my phone from my truck, so they are not the greatest. I saw him last year as well, and he had splits on both G2's. He's better this year, but had started getting broken up. He actually had his head up in a licking branch making a scrap right next to the street, but moved off before i could get my phone fired up. He's one of the best overall bucks I have seen in a few years.

Sorry for the poor picture quality on this one, but do yall think this is the same deer? This was from last winter or early this spring. He is the only one I have seen that is close to the same size as the one in the first pic.

The answer is yes, it is the same buck. I have a picture of him in that same broken up condition last year.

Come on in

Those are some nice pets y'all have.. train them to come inside the house....

Like this one ?

We dove hunt by the house cause it’s usually good, we deer hunt some on the north side of north point road where it’s really thick and we let the game warden hunt it.. I don’t hunt too much down there because a lot of the doe and a couple of the smaller bucks are pretty much pets now.. the more mature bucks are smart unless it’s the rut.. the property has been in the family before I was born.. when I was a kid everything was wild down there and it was a lot more fun..

I've seen you guys out there dove hunting. Also saw your deer feeder pretty much under water a few years ago to the North when that old Tank ya'll ****ed up caught all that water. :-) Looks like ya'll have since moved that feeder and stand. Folks talk about hunting that area, and your right the younger deer and doe don't pay hunters much attention, but those big bucks are as alert and skittish as any hill country or South Texas buck walking.

Definitely the same buck! Saw him the other day. He doesn't seem to wonder very far so i'm betting we live pretty close to each other. Good to know there's some like minded green screeners livin in the hood!
