They don't get big in East Texas.  278" Low Fence East Texas Buck
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Cool! Love the Ruger No. 1.

I had seen that pic last fall right after the deer had been killed. Not a pretty buck IMO, but a pretty dang huge buck.

 No doubt he's ugly, but you're saying you would let a state record deer walk?

OK, when you got one like that to cull out of the herd, I'll be glad to take care of him for you

No doubt he's ugly, but you're saying you would let a state record deer walk? Great buck, but what state record? Or was that just that Sneaky would pass on a Non-Typical
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

No doubt he's ugly, but you're saying you would let a state record deer walk? I seriously doubt the guy pulling the trigger on a deer like this would know what he scored. I don't think he cared what it scored but just new it was a big deer and he liked the way it looked. Not a stretch either to think that some hunters don't care for that kind of look on a deer. The guy who killed it, happened to like the NT look. I would sooner shoot a really nice typical deer as to shoot a deer that looked like this one.

They keep saying its a record but its not....two deer are bigger that are known, the benson buck from Brady and another buck from junction that was found dead.
Jeff Benson was a foreman who worked on the Ford ranch up near Brady, a hunter shot the buck and wounded it. Benson ended up finding it and is created by the deers namesake. They also have a set of its shed horns
The buck can be seen at the buckhorn museam in San Antonio
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I wouldn't have shot it either. Now, I would have sold it, but no way would I have shot such an ugly animal.

Some big deer coming outta them woods lately.
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

There's pics of that buck swimming the river too.
