Thanks Buzz.......
I only get the Waco paper and it’s not in it. I knew it was going to be in Dallas area papers but wasn’t sure what day.
It was in a few East Texas papers last Sunday and a friend has a couple saved back for me.
I have read a PDF copy and Matt did a great job researching and reaching out to Parks &Wildlife and B&C club and scorers to get background.
I edited to change picture.
The folks at Rustic reminders were so easy to work with through getting scoring to making temporary pedestal for TBGA banquets etc. They did a heck of a job on the finished product too!
I have added the sheds that I rattled him up with to the pedestal which as the story related actually were dining table decorations that I grabbed as I left the ranch HQ.

I remember you posing score to us and I came out firing first with 180", vs his actual 180 6/8". Great buck of all lifetimes David; enjoyed the DMN article this morning too.

Great buck, Congratulations to Mr. Stroud. I was in Dallas this past weekend and saw the article in the Dallas Morning News, a paper I never read. It was a great article and glad I stumbled across it.
Adios,
Gary

I read the story in my digital DMN subscription. Awesome buck- they didn't really show a full picture.

Amazing deer and fantastic mount.

Was the taxidermy work done by Josh Guenther in Marion?

Re: D. Stroud !!! - 10/06/21 04:26 PM

Yes it was

My cousin has mounted 100s of his as has another friend and they all do fantastic work.
I don't think you could have made any better choice on anyone to do justice to such a great deer.

Just a beast of a buck and I'd take your 8 over any other deer I've seen on this or any other forum. Hell, I'd take a 160 8 over a 175 10 point any day of the week. lol

Re: D. Stroud !!! - 12/12/21 03:14 AM

Great. I want to see him some day. Just no way I can grasp a deer scoring 180 and just 8 points. Really something special. Congrats again.

Re: D. Stroud !!! - 12/12/21 04:11 AM

Wow I’ve got a 144 8 pointer on the wall he is one of my favorite mounts yours is just awesome

Re: D. Stroud !!! - 12/12/21 11:56 AM

I can't grasp it either. QSYB, I am with you on the 8 over the 10.

Re: D. Stroud !!! - 12/12/21 01:05 PM

Tremendous buck DStroud and gorgeous mount. I remember when you posted it. 150” is about where eights start to look pretty big to me. 30” inches more on an 8 is incredible. Incredible enough to be a state record! Congratulations on a true buck of a lifetime for any Texas hunter.

Re: D. Stroud !!! - 12/12/21 01:07 PM

Great 8, 180 is unreal. Congrats on the buck, the mount, and the rattlin' horns to get him.

Congrats again!!! It gives us all hope that unicorns do exist!!! Flat stud
