Something on the lines of a 150-160 mature mainframe 8 with matching splits off both g2s

The 12 we had on cam the past 3 years with another 2 years on him. He will be 4 this year and will most likely get shot if we see him.

Grosvenor hunts in Southern Live Oak County south of George West. Es correcto, near the dry hole formerly known as Lake Corpus Christi. Makes sense, those genes are rare in my backyard.

My favorite buck was a 7x7 typical that was chasing a doe I took in 2003. He was a native Hill Country buck that scored 177 gross. Course he won't count for some since he was HF. My goal now is a 160+ main frame 8 and a 200" Mule Deer. But I ain't stopping hunting if I don't get them or do get them. I have had a life long goal since I was 6 or 7 yrs old of 50 deer mounts. I am getting closer to it each year with just over 40 now. picture? counts for me. love hill country. they just need to grow...my dream

BIG ole 8 like my signature with 2 10" drop tines 1 on each side. I like 8 pointers
If I put my wife in a high fence will her rack get bigger?

STX, did you get the mount back on that monster 8 point from last year? I think it was an 8, anyway. I know I underestimated the score on that thing by a mile.

Taxi called while I was hunting in Kansas end of Sept and was going to start mounting it then but needed to ask me about what I wanted on the pedestal for it. Should be ready in a couple of weeks I would think.

Yeah I want to see that mount too, that buck was awsome with all the mass. Love the 7x7 also, especially because it is native genetics, and comes from somehwere people dont think big deer can exist.

I have even seen one that was killed in Webb County by a guy LF and then he killed a 8x8 typical the next year! That same ranch I saw an old mount in the ranch office of a buck that was a true 9x9 typical. Only one I have ever seen. Buck was a young buck to boot.

thats pretty cool, never seen a typical more than 7x7 myself.
A guy I know sot a 13 pt, the left side is normal, the right side has alternating tines, the borw is up the g2 is a drop, g3 is up, g4 is a drop, and he tired to put on another on that side, but it wouldnt score.

I've only seen 1 7x7, he was an absolute stud and couldn't get him to leave the preserve during daylight hours.
