My brother-in-law retired last August after serving for 34 years as a Texas Game Warden. As a warden he was never able to hunt opening weekend of deer season. I invited him to hunt on our family ranch this year and he took this free range buck of a lifetime on opening weekend. The missing hair patch is from him fighting with another buck. Now if I can find the one that thought he was big enough to tangle with this brute. Well done brother! ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-15114-207878-fc7bd866_5323_4d30_bd13_850efbe26b44.jpeg)
No high fences. We don't hunt zoos. Hunting free range, fair chase game for over 50 Years.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Very cool! That’s what steered me away from being a GW. I’d rather hunt
