Nice! How did that deer look compared to last year or the year before?
Great question, why didn’t I think of that. I go to great lengths to try and document and track specific deer so I can learn how they change but never think to ask others. he added a little horn over the past two years but no huge jump - he did however add about 20-30 lbs it looks like - massive body As far as documenting and tracking deer this place is incredible - our camp house has at least 40 plus buck pictures on the wall - they are split out by: Kill, Do Not Kill, and Video first. We run 20 cameras during the off season so we gather a ton of pictures along with videos - it gets overwhelming sometimes but the system really works for tracking their age

What am i missing here? Is there a horn that has been broken off?
You have to remember, they might not be drinking as much as we are.

Great!! I guess that’s the one you were after..?? I know y’all have bigger deer but I’m sure it’s special with him being that old and having history with him and doing it with your Son. Beautiful typ 12. Isn’t that two years in row typ 12. Yes same deer - old and a tank - son was happy as he could be Yes on the two years of 12 points - our lease also took a 175 and a 194 so far this season - we have a couple of others that will most likely go down soon - Great looking buck tlk. Glad you found another good place again to lease! I am back on the original same lease again - just retired from being the lease manager to being just one of the hunters - they guy who was my right hand guy took over the management job and I am loving it! Good on you brother!!! Hell yeah......enjoy yourself man

What am i missing here? Is there a horn that has been broken off? I clearly see 6 on the deer's right side and I'm pretty sure you cannot see his G2 on his left as it is blocked by this G3 & G4.

Here is another angle - straight up 12 point - One beam was an inch shorter than the other and all of the other tines were very close to identical length and mass

I think a typical 12 is as cool a deer as someone can take. Not a lot of them around. Congrats for a great deer.

TLK, the 230 liveweight, is that on the upper end of the mature deer like this one (7+ year olds)? I know the deer in your general area get big. My buddies that have a 6k acre Maverick County pasture of a large ranch leased kill numerous every year that will weigh over 220 on the hoof. I believe their biggest so far was an early season 150" management deer that tipped the scale at over 260 live weight. Damn thing looked like a yearling bull with horns

tlk, I cant remember you posting that 14 typ before. Between the 14 typ and the way the antlers and beams layout I think that would be my ultimate. Just needs more mass.......
