Finally get a pic of a buck with horns and ............

The 13” spread has helped WAY more than it has hurt. These deer are exceptions. I understand they need to die, but don’t know how to go about getting a “but in this case” amendment to the rule.

The 13” spread rule has been great for East Texas IMO.

It can't be done because it would certainly be used in illegal ways! You can see on here alone that people try and push the 13" rule.

I wish the state would make allowances for deer like that if there mature.

Only way I have ever seen that may work is make it 13" or maybe even bump it up to 14" outside spread. Seems like a lot of the bucks people complain about are narrow and heavy and looking at outside spread would allow most of those deer to be shot. This would also allow older, narrow deer with kickers to be shot.

They should make exceptions on deer like this

They do, it's called the SSS permit

Your freezer doesn’t care what was on its head.

I have a few deer that are real abnormal this Season I guess because of the drought. Way more than normal.

I’m guessing injury to right rear leg.
Interesting to see what happens in future yrs.

“Looks like a younger deer with a possible injury. I wouldn't be in a hurry to kill him. His good side is pretty good.“

Same.

I don't think the buck I posted is genetic issue but whatever it is, it is a recurring issue

Looks like a young buck. So all good

I believe folks with their own land will do it anyway.
