'Pretty sure. (Left G5 is hidden, I think, in this pic.) I had him once on camera at the Windmill, and now at a feeder just north of there. He ain't no south Texas twelve, but still, a rare sighting for the hill country. (I never really considered Junction/Menard "hill country", but I'm warming to the idea.  ) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/10/full-40213-259255-12gr_2_copy.jpg) I'm 60, been hunting since I was 11, hunted a few western states and have also hunted Zimbabwe and Mozambique. 'Never killed a 12pt. WT. 'Got my youngest a 13 point though, many years ago, and I remember it like it was yesterday. (Sisterdale.) This boy gives me inspiration to keep hammering the does!

That's a really nice Menard/Kimble County buck. I love the dark antlers, good mass and point length. Years ago, there was a book deer killed on the Spiller Ranch which is very close to you. If memory serves me correctly, it was taken in the 1980's by a fellow by the name of Jones. Adios, Gary

Thanks all! I hope to build this place back from the previous owner's "beer lease".  (And I do find old beer cans all OVER the place, in the oddest spots.)
