Very nice! Great weight on that deer! That county is one of my favorites

RE: Kenneth1977 So what was he when he was 2.5 ? For you to know it was him ? Just wondering

The daylight picture (only 2 or 3 exist) is the first picture we have of him, taken in July 2010 . You can see his junky browtines and his left G-2, which give him away. The other picture is from later that year, and there's no doubt about it being him. At some point during 2010, he was wounded; we had video of him limping. He developed a scar on his right midsection that he still had when we finally laid hands on him. Hard to tell what caused the injury. My guess is fighting. Each year, he would show up and be a little trashier, and each year, we chased a fart in the wind. Totally nocturnal; basically a ghost, but always thinking in the back of our minds that he’s out there somewhere. I thank God each day for my dad (and mom), who owns the land and have poured a lot of time, money and effort into creating a place to be proud of. I live in Sugar Land and will never take for granted that ranches like his don’t just happen on their own. I have a 6 year old son, and he’s chomping at the bit to squeeze off on his first deer, and thanks to my father’s diligence, he will be able to get his first buck on the same ranch I got mine 25 yrs ago. My dad posted last year about my nephew getting his first buck. What a great story that he’ll always remember. I am truly blessed by the Lord to have this sort of place to take my kids back to and teach them things they cant learn in the city.

Helluva buck. Congrats

He's quick to let everyone know that "poor folks gotta work for a livin" and that I killed his buck "while he was providing for his family!" I think I've been permanently relegated to doe culler.

Thats some deer.

Lol. That's the story I heard.

Great buck! East Texas bucks are smart and hard to hunt. Congrats!!!

Very impressive, congrats!

Well, since there are 2 13" tags filled, you have dedicated weekend laborers to take your place so you can go hunt.

That'd be a first! Take me all next week to fix what they tear up!

In that case, just keep a rifle on the tractor with you while putting out hay during this cold snap andcall it hunting

Just wait until next week...you'll have all the help you could ever want. The 2nd generation of the Fruit of Your Loins will all be on hand to offer their assistance. Quote: "I swear they can ask more questions in 30 minutes than you could answer in 30 years!"

Great buck!

Awesome!

Thanks for all of the comments and "welcomes" from you guys. I've been getting a kick out of reading all of the old posts between Tres, pnh, rifleman, and others about this deer over the past 4 years. From what I can tell, there's been a lot of grab-a**ing on the internet. Now that he's dead, maybe some work can get done!

Nope, still no work can be done until jshouse shoots the buck that's been taunting him.

Knocking them out!

Real stud of a buck. Congrats

Thanks guys! I see that big rascal coming across that hay meadow about 10-12 times a day and productivity grinds to a crawl. Do you think its asking too much to try and incorporate him into our Christmas cards?? Photoshop??

It can be done..

Guess where he's gonna hang?

The deer?

yep.
