This was 2 years ago on our ranch south of Guthrie. I hunted him hard but never got another look. We have seen some bucks close to him since, but he is a Macho Grande!

Checked cams today and still no sign of mine. 8 more days fellas, good luck.

Well they don't get that big by coming to the feeder lol

That is a straight up King county giant. I have seen some real awesome bucks around Guthrie over the last 8 years.

Did he come through in the rut or late season?
Im pretty close to Guthrie myself.

This was in late October and I hunted him hard and never saw him again. Did shoot a 150 class buck I was happy with, but not as happy as it would have been to shoot this one. The biologist couldn't believe it either. He is a BEAST! He's still out there somewhere. This was 2 years ago.

My ghost!!

From my old (sold it) Midland Co. Ranch...



And then there's DoubleDrop from Glasscock Co. Shouldnt have passed him this year. Never saw him after this season, spent all summer looking for his sheds, and I know he made it through gun season.

great bucks fellas, time to just sit, wait, and watch. hope.

Not really but I have several that stuck around for 4 years like clockwork then never came back

Sorry long story:
It was a while back but I will never forget it and my daughter constantly reminds me of it, she was 8 yrs old at the time 13 now.
We were at the ranch and a few other hunters were there. I was trying to wean myself off of coffee for some stupid reason. Well I head to the truck to warm it up and jump in and my odometer has all sevens (7777)I go back to the ranch house and say boys today is my lucky day how about a cup of that coffee. I drink the coffee (first cup in about 2 weeks) and me and my daughter head out to the stand. Park the truck for a 100-150 yard walk to the stand we climb in and guess what? The coffee hits me in the gut and I tell my daughter I have to go back to the truck so sit tight and dad will be right back. I go and take care of business and as I am approaching the stand all I hear is dad,dad, dad hurry up, keeping in mind it is still pretty dark about 6:45 am, well I climb in and say whats wrong honey and she replies there is a huge buck at the feeder. I look down there and to my amazement stands the outline of the biggest buck I have ever seen in a hunting situation. Now comes the second punch from the coffee, I start shaking uncontrollably and can't even get a good grip on my rifle. I try to compose myself and put the rifle out of the window and at that second my feeder goes off and scares the chit out of this buck. I am freaking out because as he runs up the other side of the draw I was hunting I get a real good look at his headgear. This sucker had to be 19-20" wide and was a main frame "tall" ten. He stops at the top of the ridge and and looks back at the feeder and offers me a perfect 150 yrd shot. Put the gun on him and still shaking so bad I can't find him in the scope. Look up still standing there staring back at the feeder wondering what had happened and look back through scope still can't find him. Look back up and watch him haul arc out of there and as I watch him leaving for about 400 yards all I can think is man I hope I see him again. Hunted every weekend and some weekdays after that and never seen him again. No one on the ranch ever saw him and I think they all thought I was BSn. Later that year after the season was over I was down to do a little work and the ranch foreman pulls up and asked if I would give him a hand setting up a water trough. As we were talking he asked how the hunters did this year and I said no big bucks were taken but all and all an okay year. His reply was man I thought one of you guys were gonna score on a real big one this year. There has been the biggest buck I have personally ever seen in this county my whole life bedding up over behind that house across the road bout hit him with the grill of my truck one evening when he crossed over to this ranch, I think he hits that feeder in the draw to the east (mine). Sure hoping one of you boys would get him. After describing the buck it was the same buck I had saw. Dangit never seen him the next year either and never seen him show up in the Goldthwaite gazzette either. Sorry for the long read but thats mine that got away.

Man I like big massive typicals. From this season?

I don't know how in the hell you passed on this beauty!! You have a lot of self control. That is a beast double-drop!

Not a dream buck by most standards, but the biggest I’ve ever seen on my little piece of East Texas. Only have three pics of him from this last season all on the same day….never to be seen again.

In all fairness, he had broken off one drop when I saw him, plus we had him aged at 3.5 so by the ranch rules, he was a no-shoot that year.

That is a bruiser.

i feel the pain

I woulda cried.

cool deer

Never saw him while in the tree......and I was in that tree ALOT!

dang!

Wide and double drops too.

Nice deer fellas!!

I wonder what we missed back when I hunted Mason Co?

And now.....depression sets in.
