Mine does a LOT of shopping. I asked her a long time ago why she enjoys shopping without buying anything. She asked me why I enjoy hunting without killing anything. Kind of tongue tied on my reply to that one. As usual, she is smarter than me, and much quicker.

At least yours realizes you hunt and decide not to shoot most of the time....my lady of 25 years says I have a hex on my hunting and she laughs every time I tell her some story about my hunting experiences. I have set myself up for some of the laughter though....

That can happen in those parts. When "The Bull" took his monstrous & previously unknown WT down there on a "Kinenos" hunt, it dressed somewhere near 105 pounds.

In fact she is coming up to NB today to go to lunch with me before school starts back up again. She plans on shopping after lunch at Willies and I'd almost bet she doesn't buy much. lol

Wont take but a second. I THINK my very good friend was there at same time as you on that hunt. He killed the LF book typical that the lion found first. edit. Friend just confirmed but evidently yours was 2019. He hunted both years. Rackem-up.

yeah that would be fine. Chris and his son are great people, and I'm glad he got him a booner. But I shot the buck above 2 seasons ago when he got his "almost booner", back to back net book typicals would really be something. The deer he shot this season, I was hunting only about 1/4 mile from him. He was after another monster typical when the one he shot stepped out for the first time all season. Right there beside him the day before I shot a 25" wide buck with 27" beams and a 7" drop tine. The one he was after didnt get killed, so he might have a chance at another one this year.

MAP, he is probably my best hunting friend. He hunted with me a long time but he got that South Texas itch back.

I took this pic from a little low so somewhat distorted but he really really did go way up in an unusual way. Very impressive buck. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/07/full-45514-302703-cdf826c6_c93b_48b4_9ce0_bfcbd839461c.jpeg)

Deer of a lifetime! What was the gross score? I think it was 183. You can go to the TBGA website and get info on every animal ever entered(or most all I believe.) It will show gross, net, hunter, county, what category, what weapon and the Ranch if it was submitted.
