The first is of "Mr. Big" - a 12pt shot on a LF just outside of Lockhart. It was my buddy's 1st deer, ever! (good luck topping that one!) The buck was 6.5 years old and we'd been hunting him for the last 2 season. I just got a plaque made that will go on the cedar backing. The second buck was my first droptine, taken in Carrizo Springs this last season. He was 4.5 years old...possibly 5.5

If I had gotten him, I was planning on the shoulder mount...unfortunately, my buddy didn't have the money to do much...so I did the Euro for him.

Hope you saved the cape and at least had it tanned. That way if he ever decides to get a shoulder mount done he will have it.

Great buck from Lockhart. I'd have saved up for a shoulder mount though. Great job George.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

I mentioned this on another tread the other day, but that area between Lockhart, San Marcos, Seguin, Gonzales, Luling and the surrounding area is a very unrecognized area. I grew up in San Marcos, and had a few buddies that owned family land along the San Marcos river near Staples and Fentress. They got some huge bucks out of that riverbottom. I've also seen some good ones that came from the area between Martindale and Lockhart, south of hwy 142. The Kingsbury area is pretty good, too. If I lived closer to that area, I'd try to get a lease in that area but I don't think many landowners lease around there.

Wow both are unique and very cool deer The Carrizo Springs deer has a lot of character that needed to be culled. In an AR county, we would have to let that one walk
