LivinADream · 01-28-2023, 04:22 PM

My best in Texas isn't much, but is definitely one of my favorites. 1st deer off of my land, 1st hunt in my land, Nov 4 this year. He's probably 100" shy of my best buck, but I smile just as big thinking about him. Bottom right on the beam.

No one invited you. Go away

Buck on the right is my personal best. Fayette county, Muldoon Tx in 2007. Was 13” wide, double split brows but one broken off. 12 scorable points, scored 132.

would be nice to know if the deer is low fence or high fence? Either way they are all great deer but if we are all honest it does make a difference IMO - I have nothing against HF ranches - I use to own one - but I like to see both sides of the hunting world

MASTERS · 01-28-2023, 10:01 PM

I’ve never been good at reading a tape but they all looked pretty big for Texas bucks.....

That deer pasture is big enough the deer prolly never see a fence, and if they do, they step over it like a windrow.

Bone Thug · 01-28-2023, 10:01 PM

Here’s my biggest bow buck, I called him Pitchfork….Killed him on 10/02/2021.

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.

Haha. I watched this deer the previous morning before she got there for a while chasing doe and he was good. Sometime over the next 24 hours he had is eye gouged out and women stolen. He was hurting. Told her it was a mercy killing.

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.

https://discussions.texasbowhunter.c...d.php?t=861011

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!

had a tine coming out of his skull behind his left eye, also had an 8.5” mass measurement on his right main beam if I remember correctly, thought I was shooting a slick 8 when he came by dogging a doe, man was I surprised when I got got up to him
