That's a great story

I spoke with a taxidermist that said he has two bucks in his shop from Lake Grapevine that are over 140.

I think it’s awesome to hear about some of the giants bucks around the Collin, Denton and Grayson county areas...I know when I drive around here now I’m really wondering what’s in some of the huge unincorporated bottom land in these areas.

I have tried to find a picture of this buck online but cant...Pickup a Sunday paper today, its in the Sports section.

I saw the pic and couldn't believe it. Who knew Lake Grapevine of all places would hold up a nice buck like that? Awesome story.

I would love to see the picture .

I always wanted to post that.....

Then find one and post it...I said earlier that I couldnt find one...We are happy to help with the big words in the article.

I saw it at Syracuse meat locker,it was a hoss of a deer.But the horns were only about 130.It weighed 195.Still a great deer.

Terrible article by the way....Ray is loosing it.

how did they get the report 60 inches off then?

It was a different deer, this deer grossed 195 and netted 189...Please share with the rest of us how the article could have been better.

Yeah that thing was a hawg......17 points and at 195 B/C gross dayum. My guess is ALOT more folks will be going in on the draw next year. Here is the link to the story.

It mine.

Awesome deer

Best first post! Awesome buck. Congratulations!!!

Thanks. It's going to make a great mount. Now I just need to find a wall big enough. lol.

Awesome buck!

If memory serves me right, before they built DFW Airport there was a private ranch in that area that had some major league bucks. Not sure who the owner was, but he had a reputation for having those bucks!

Just got a whole lot harder to draw a tag out there next year, last year that place was open permit. The genetics are there just like they are in grayson county. I'm sure they guy who took this deer is a nice guy but he really should have kept this to himself, I just don't think he realizes how much harder its going to make it to draw a tag out there. There have been big deer like this taken there before but it was always kept on the low down.

I have a buddy who works some pump stations in and around that area and he has shown me some great pics of some deer he has seen. Some of the pics have come from right around DFW airport "really nice". CONGRATS to the hunter who shot that great buck!!!!!!

Welcome aboard my man...Great buck and even better story!

Very impressive animal!!!

If you read the rules great deer from public land have to be shared with the public,You know passed around from from hunter to drooler, I"l start the list here.

That is a really slick looking buck, congrats

Understood. Hopefully that will not be the case. Even if I don't get drawn next year, at least I know the deer population will be there for the next guy.

Also the secret was out the minute I dropped the deer off at the meat market.

Yes sir, I don't hunt out there, actually never set foot on the place, closest I've come to it has been driving by on the way to texas motor speedway, just kinda thinking about the local guys who have hunted out there forever. Good luck in the future out there.
