I took this guy this afternoon. Family, friends, and friend's kids have taken decent bucks in the 2&1/2 years I've owned the place, but I've just shot does, and culls, and pigs (and axis  ), and whined a lot. In this the 3rd season on the place, this guy got my heart pumping some, so I shot him. No monster, but a good hill country buck, in my opinion. I've killed slightly bigger elsewhere, but I may get a shoulder mount and put him over the fireplace. There's wider, and more points, on camera, but there's something about a symmetrical 8. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-40213-323262-img_20211120_192407.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/11/full-40213-323263-img_20211120_192423.jpg) (106.6# dressed.)

Nice deer, congrats. If it gets the heart pumping then you had a good time.
Love that feeling.

First buck off the place I would definitely think you would mount and hang. Congratulations.

you def. need to mount that deer and put him over the fire place
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

That's a beautiful deer. He'll make a fine mount.
