Id say easy is 70's to low 80's with that mass and outstanding forks!! One if not the best looking texas mulies I've seen!! I ain't going to lie probably taken me 6 shots just to hit that deer. Wow is best and only way to describe him 184 5/8ths if I rember right I feel you bobo it took me $9.75 to kill my deer he did it with a $1.30
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! I was very close to not going on this hunt. I cant wait for next year, so I can return the favor to my hunting buddys. Hey stxranchman I hope your not mad at me for swipping your fudge brownies, somehow they were hidding in my ice chest with your cookies. Opps yeah I guess I kept the cookies also. I would buy a different brand they were pretty hard.

Congratulations Cuz! Great buck with mass and character. While I was raised in South Texas, there is a certain magic to hunting deer in the Trans Pecos. While I may have bigger deer on other ranches, the only place I hunt deer is out west. I finally got over trying to kill a monster and am more into the hunt, scenery and hunting companions. But for predators, there is still no place like South Texas. Adios, Gary

Yes its true, I was handed this double drop mulie. I had been tied up with work the first 10 days of season. I headed west with txtrophy85 for the last few days of season. txtrophy85 had already scored on a monster 5X5 mulie but as a true friend he made sure that I didnt bow out as hunting had been very tuff on the other hunters on our West Texas lease with only txtrophy85 scoring.We arrived at our lease just in time to hunt Monday evening, I was greated by another true friend Stxranchman who offered to drive me around in his hunting buggy. We spent several hours glassing flats and draws seeing a few mulies but nothing that would bring out the spotting scope. The sun was going down pretty quick on the western horizon when stxranchman pulled a rabbit from his hat. We were headed back to camp when we crossed into an open grass flat and stxranchman came to a quick stop and watched as 2 mulies were feeding with there heads down in the tall prairie grass. I got my binoculars up to see the back mulie pushing through the grass with his horns. I waited for stxranchman to give me his thoughts on the buck as he watched him through his spotting scope. He immediatly said good buck, we were over 450 yards away from the buck and needed to close the distance with only 15 minutes of shooting light. Stxranchman got me to within 230 yards and as I was settling the cross hairs on his shoulder stxranchman told me he has a droptine. I squeezed off a round and it seemed like it took forever to reach its mark, but it did and the mulie was down. I crossed the grass flat on foot as stxranchman went around to a fence gap in the buggy. I walked up to the monarch and as I lifted his head above the grass I observed double droptines. This was truly the best hunt I had ever been on and it would not have happened if it weren't for two of my best friends txtrophy85 and stxranchman. Thank you guys. Great Write up and wonderful Buck

Thank you Stxranchman for an incredible hunt! Just be glad that no one shot that buck last year. I had a great time this year also.

I enjoyed the pictures. I do appreciate you(stxranchman) giving up the shot so I could take it. I ate the last of your fudge brownies today! Just Kidding I froze them, so I could return them to you next year.

The apple fritter was starting to dry out, so I put it in my mouth to keep it moist and accidently swollowed it.
