East tex deer or horse

Pulled card last sunday, this dude was on there,looks pretty stout. Our 63 acre family land just outsideof Jefferson.

Horse!

Very nice East Texas deer

He is a brute

Looks like a shooter to me.

Nice buck, glad to see that area has some genetics. We have 350 acres about 9 miles West of Jefferson on hwy 49 but don't have bucks like that. I'm jealous

Very nice!

Horse for sure. Ground check him

Horse, it will taste like zebra.

Pure greatness.

That will load the freezer up

Nice buck, good luck!

Antler development is all over the chart in East Texas....but body wise, pretty much any 'mature' buck (on good habitat) will be a substantial animal.

I would actually classify the one the OP posted as about average (for body weight), but is sporting a nice set of antlers.

A good buck no doubt.

Clydesdale deer

He hasn't missed many meals.

choot'em

Gettem.

Nice buck!

Beautiful deer

very nice

Hoss!

Stud buck. 👍

That is one solid buck!

mightyp is my oldest son.

update: the first pic is taking a nap as of this evening. op's brother got him.

pic?

have it on my phone. dont know how to post it. im sure op will post it when he gets on.

Great East Texas deer. It’s been a good year in this area with several nice mature bucks taken. Good luck.

This is the buck lima was reffering too, I dont believe its the horse buck but still a nice one

Very nice buck. Definitely not the one first pictured... (antlers) are different.

But a good representation of what can be expected of mature bucks, most places in East Texas.

Again, I don't wish to sound like a dissenting voice and I understand most simply want to encourage the OP and be supportive, but honestly (body wise) just about every mature buck I've seen in 35 yrs of hunting East Texas will have a build like the one first depicted.

I just don't see anything 'horse' like or exceptional about it. Has a very nice rack. Open Range (no protein) 'mature' bucks will go 175-200lbs on the hoof. Some larger. Compared to the average 'Hill Country' buck, yes....its a horse.

Hopefully, someone will get a chance at it. It IS a very nice animal. Best of luck to all.

Nice one

Nice!
