ya i stole this pic from a felow thf'er..... hope he doesnt mind!!


my question is, would this qualify under the ARs?? lets just all pretend and understand that the deer is not 13 in wide anywhere. my question is.... is it slick antlered????




now lets pretend like one of the split antlers is outside the 13in and one is inside, so is the deer legal in this way?

i have no idea...

IMO, the side with two beams, one could say the interior antler is the brow tine, so he'd be 13 inches. but, he would not have the points. so i dunno.

Deer needs to go either way, i dont think a GW would ticket you.

He would die if I saw him.

i ask because i had one similiar on my place this yr, excep he had 2 forked antlers on one side wih atypical other side makin him a 9 point. pretty cool looking buck. but one antler almost or did make 13 and the other wasnt even close. i called the GW and sent a pic. he said if one of the antlers made 13 he wouldnt bother me, just wonder what all yall thought

that guys needs to go...

Looks like sausage to me

id take him

if hes 13 yes, if not no, the law, sucks don't it? Lent is over right? I can talk about ar again?

OK, that one is over 13 anyway so it don't matter

The deer looks like he has horns outside the ears.Take him. sounds like you think the antlers should be 13" long. this is not the case. Out side the ears is how the book says to judge. I have spoke with several different wardens that i have asked the question. What if the bucks ears are not 13" say 11 and the bucks spread is 12.5" would you ticket. they said no since the book says to use the ears as a field judgement then the deer is legal.

it's kinda hard to see what's goin on in that pic...
looks like one side has two "spike type" antlers and the other is at least forked.

If the one side does have a spike type antler I say he's legal. under the provision "at least one unbranched antler"

BANG

he would make a good shark lure for our buddies over on the fishing forum. he has a head like a treble hook...

For those of you who know what agency I work for, the restriction says, 'at least one unbranched antler' which it DOES have on its right side, at least one. I view and understand that as being a legal buck even though it is 13" or greater between the widest part of the main beams.

I just wish I could see the base where the right antler is coming out of the skull to be absolutely sure. In a county w/o antler restrictions, the first opportunity to let the arrow fly or pull the trigger, no question about it.

DRT!

alright check out this buck. see that he has 2 forked antlers on one side. hard to tell which one is a "main beam" so this buck was right at 13 inches with the outside main beam. how do u think the law looks on this buck?

I would kill him too. I would call the inside one his brow tine.

If you kill him he will not get any bigger.

Outside the eras, DRT!!!

does the deer have one unbranched antler no.

Man I'd pass on him! Don't you know by now there ain't any good deer down here in Gonzales?

yaya curtis lol, at least not on my side, but this is a buck on some land in lavaca co.


there are NO deer out in my part of Gonzales co. if there is, i havent seen one, or the tracks of one....

i'd kill him just to get him out of the herd. I boubt any GW would mind.

Needs to be ground checked.
