I have watched this deer grow all summer. Thought I might have a chance at him this morning and it worked out. He is just north of 140 with a quick tape but I will sit down in the next day or 2 and tape him good. He is 15" exactly wide with 5' bases and 12pts. He carries his mass out well. Thought I would share.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Great example of an East Texas buck.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Whereabouts in East Texas? I'm around Palestine and only saw one small 8 point this morning.

Very nice buck, congratulations! 140" in East Texas is impressive from what I have seen over there in the past.

Good looking buck! I actually didn't get out there this morning. Probably wont get in the stand until mid week. I'm on the south side of Emory though and I believe you are on the north side?
