Absolute Monster East Texas Buck (Rusk, Texas) 180"+

Can't believe this hasn't been posted on here yet, but I figured you guys would like to see it, so I will do the duty. This buck was shot by a man in Rusk, Texas. I know the guy that shot him , and it couldnt have happened to a better guy! he had been hunting this buck hard for several years. (JSHOUSE there is still hope for you)

I haven't seen an official score sheet but I was told he was 185 3/8". Enjoy this absolute monster for this area.

btw, now that is what I call deer porn...lol

Monster for sure!!

Outstanding buck

Monster buck is right! Congrats!

If I had to take one last buck, that would represent what a true whitetail should be, I'd want that one, one of the prettiest bucks I have ever seen.

Whew......nice buck!!!!!

That is exactly what my dad and I were saying. He is what my dreams are made of every time I step into a deer stand . Like I said, it couldn't have happened to a nicer man too! A true hunter. I'd much rather see someone get him after sitting and sitting and sitting than to sit 15 minutes into first hunt and kill him . Good news also, is that he said they have been seeing his bloodlines in a lot of younger deer on the property . Similar character traits.

Absolute stud, beautiful....there is still hope!

Haha you are the first person I thought of whenever he said he'd been hard after him for years .

Great Buck

Great buck!

Heck of an E. Texas buck!

If they are seeing his prodigy, they are truly in a blessed area. I'd protect as much as I could once word gets out.

Awesome Buck Congrats

Wow, that's a beauty. Classic frame. Can't dream them up any better then that.

Congrats to your friend.

Wow! I've got family with some land in Reklaw, looks I need to start making a few more hunts a year out there!

Helluva buck. I could sit on the couch and look at him on the wall all day. Congrats to him on the buck of a lifetime.

that big boy has been on steroids

Wow that's a beast

Excellent!
Beautiful typical! Congrats to the hunter.

Great deer no doubt.

AWESOME

WOW! Super nice buck.

outstanding

Was that a low fence buck? Know a man who lives in Rusk I hunt with in West Texas. He's says it has to be.

Curious.

That's the buck of my dreams. If I saw that deer While on stand, I believe I'd stain my skivvies. Congratulations to the hunter, on the buck of a lifetime. Pure east Texas mossback.

It doesn't matter. It's a great buck regardless.

Of course man! I wouldn't be in such shock if it was a raised deer. That is a 100% wild low fence animal. Killed on around 100 acres . Backing up to a large tract of woods

Hey did not mean to offend you man sorry if you took my question the wrong way. Both of us were just curious.

A great deer. The fact that it's a prime specimen on low fence just makes it that much better.

There must be something in the water (I mean that literally), because watching the 903 Outdoor page on FB, Rusk and Harrison Counties have had some tremendous bucks killed already this season. I saw another buck with a double drop in E. Texas. I hope it stays this way forever.

***EDIT***

BTW, this is the biggest, and prettiest. Nice buck, tell the guy that killed it congrats!

hmmmm, east texas has really been throwing out some nice deer the last 5, 6, 7 years now....the water? nah, don't think so....lemme think.....

Great buck!

AR haters still out there

IMO, this has been the best year I have ever seen for trophy deer killed in East Texas. I have seen multiple 160's come out, and have had friends shoot 140's, and 150s. I am definitely not an AR hater, because I can see the positive results its having in my hometown of Joaquin (sabine national forest) where it used to be "if its brown its down". I think one reason for such a positive jump this year however, was the quality of rainfall we had this offseason. Antler growth was maxed out!

I also believe there has always been MONSTER's in East Texas, they are just extremely hard to kill with everything being so thick, and most of the areas very heavily pressured.

There is no harder whitetail hunting in the world than for mature bucks in east TX. JMHO.

This has, indeed, been a banner year for big east TX deer.

What a giant!

We are of like mind, but this season has been exceptional. It is a combination of the AR's and mucho agua, compadre.

I would love for one like that to show up on my place in east Texas.

I'll tell ya first hand. Born and raised in mount Vernon. Hunted Franklin county my whole life. It was always ok deer if that. An occasional really good one. The last two years I've seen some absolute Giants. Enough so that my deer lease In west Texas doesn't see me much. Very excited about the potential that's already there and what's yet to come.

I live in Mt Pleasant, hunted Franklin the 1st year of AR's, figured I'd killed my last buck in E Texas after that season. I've seen some absolute monsters over there recently. But I'll keep my place in Harrison for now.

WOW! I wasn't ready for that!

AMEN!

My parents have 100 acres right outside mv. I have 68 in purley. I've seen two diff deer on both properties that were absolute Giants. I have some high hopes for sure. Just gotta get rid of them dang pigs.
