What a brute man!! Congrats!!

Awesome deer. Who says East Texas doesn't have big deer?

Beautiful buck, love the mass! Congrats

I use to hunt in powderly area and would get deer like those...

I took this buck this past Sunday evening. We acquired a new lease about a mile from where we had been hunting the past few years. It is a area that is known for some good deer. My personal best buck was taken in this area a couple years back. He scored 137 4/8's, a archery kill.

We are about a mile from the Red River. A lot of farming, so the deer have good body size to them and good antlers. Our place is all planted pine trees. A real challenge to hunt and to figure out any patterns to the deer. Most (99%) of our visibility is limited to about 40 yards. Deer sightings has been low because of this. If it wasn't for game cameras it would have been hard to stick with it. I didn't see a deer on stand during the month of October and well into November. The camera showed us some amazing bucks and one stood out above the rest.

The only lane we have on the place is a road they made to load logs. It is about 100 yards long and very close to a county road. I was reluctant to put a bow blind on this lane because I was concerned when the leaves begin to fall that someone would see the blind from the road and it possibly get stolen. Putting that aside, I decided to put the blind on the lane in hopes of being able to see more deer. I haven't used a rifle in years, but I decided I would take my rifle in case I saw a bruiser on the end of the lane. Fast forward to Sunday evening. At dark thirty a big bodied buck stepped out in front of me at 25 yards. It was so close and it happened so fast that I had a hard time getting the crosshairs on the buck. I shot him at 35 yards. I didn't realize just how big this buck was until 30 minutes later when me and my son walked into the pines to find him. When we saw him we knew he was the big buck that we had on camera. To say the least we were both ecstatic. This Bowie county buck is 20 4/8's inches wide. He has 15 points and scores 165 1/8 BC. PTL!!!

Great looking buck. Congrats
