Yes, you all are correct. I asked him about the top picture and he said he forgot to tell me that is from a different ranch in Kerrville. Good eye(s) there guys.

Those are a lot of mostly clean typicals.....and I believe that the deer in the lower photo's is 30" wide. Thanks for sharing.

I have to agree....those aren't the same property....or if they are its out west somewhere. top pic looks hill countryish....but could be west texas hills, and bottom pic looks like south texas somewhere. could be on some divide country headed west though.
damn nice deer for sure...but for someone with the property/time/money/inclination to do it...they do grow deer like that all day long in most parts of texas. on both high and low fences.
mostly the fence helps you regulate density. it allows you to do a high density feeding program without attracting every other deer in the county. it does keep the more mature deer that you've raised contained too. but not to the point of being un-ethical to hunt.
our place is low fence, I'd honestly like to HF. but we take very good care of our deer. we shoot them, but are very selective, we keep things very natural and quiet. not excessive hunting pressure. the deer are not afraid of us. we will frequenly walk up on deer that do not run, frequently shoot a deer only to have the other deer not run or shortly return. the fence is not what makes them more tame....its the lack of abuse.

case in point....on the same property sitting in the same deer stand....if a hog comes out to one of our feeders....and say you accidentally bump the side of the blind...that hog is gone in a heartbeat...because he knows the rifle is coming next.
the deer pay no mind. hunting pressure makes the difference.
