I would just like to see one this good on camera. This is the first buck I have ever killed at a feeder or had on camera. All my other bucks have been taken along travel paths and were surprises.

How it all worked out is still kind of funny. I set the young man up to shoot him and hunted the stand no one was seeing anything at. Would have been a good first buck for him. He got a good sized doe though so I don't think he was too disappointed.

Well the 10 got shot Saturday when I wasn't there and not recovered.  I'm working 70hr weeks so was unable to do much about it. Going down this weekend to do my best to find him. Based on what I was told and the pics of the blood, it looked like a liver shot. New rule is no bucks shot unless I'm there and no more deer taken this year.

His ranch his rules and I would manage it the same way.

It's my best friends place, I just manage it the best I can. My friend doesn't hunt and leaves most of it up to me as far as what goes on. It's me, the land owners son in law and a friend hunting 165ac.
Our friend is the one that shot the buck, after I gave him my blessing. It's his first year deer hunting and is pretty new to hunting overall. He's done a lot for me the past couple of years so I wanted to repay him. I'm not mad at him in the least, he's a good friend. Just probably not ready to be out there on his own yet and I think he pushed the deer too soon. He has what I call "New Hunter Syndrome"
No more deer this year means no more for any of us, three bucks and three doe were shot. That's more than enough I think.

I am on 80 acres in Jack County and never take more than 2 deer a year, most of the time only 1.

Stub, I agree. We are in San Saba, only one neighbor hunts but they shoot a lot. We have the numbers and could probably shoot more doe. Our buck numbers this year seemed to be about 3x the amount as last year. I still think three bucks was too much but we will see next year.

He would be hard to let walk, but I think he needs to be given another year to see what he does.

He did shoot the 8 (see page 3) and the 10 was shot also but not recovered (see top of page 5).
