Deer Season 2025

[Albert GRANT]

Not the largest bodied buck I have gotten, but certainly the biggest rack. Taken with the Browning A-bolt, JES rebore to 35 Whelen loaded with special order 200gr Peregrine bush master bullets. Certainly did the job and ended things very quickly.

Not sure how I missed this thread earlier.

Below is the main frame 10 I took in October with the bow on my lease. Buddy took a picture of us taking photos which I thought was a pretty cool candid.

I’ve got another couple 8’s, 9’s and 10’s I’ve been watching around the house. Can’t decide if I’m going to sit for one or not. Had one of the 10’s chasing a doe around the backyard and 15 yards in front of the garage yesterday while I was in there working.

Not the biggest deer, but it's the first one killed on my property this year.

Shooting one on your own property is huge and such a good feeling. Both of the bucks in my last pics were shot on my own as well. Congrats!!!

Another 9,3x62 hill country buck from this morning.

The one in my post above, as well as my last 3 bucks prior to that, have all been taken on my family property. Embarrassed to say it took a decade to really figure out how bucks use this property, but now that I have, it's turning out to be very productive. I no longer hunt anywhere else, which has the added bonus of not having to deal with the half-assed hunters who would be better off "hunting" on a gaming system, lol.

Disclosure: I posted a thread on this hunt earlier but thought I would also join this thread. Congratulations to all of the deer hunters stateside and worldwide in 2025.

Can’t wait for 2026! Happy hunting, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Wow that’s is amazing, what did those G2’s tape out too?

Dark pelt and nose, high horn configuration, and look at all those forks--beautiful!

Strange looking deer mate. Must be female, no antlers.

That's what I love about the Whelen, ends arguments very quickly.

Hi from Indiana. I didn’t measure the Nevada mule deer rack. I brought the cape and rack straight to my buddy, who is a taxidermist. I will have to get him to measure/score the buck.

Good luck and happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a.k.a Tom.

Wow, look at all that extra stuff sticking out of his head! Gonna mount it?

Yes, I told him I would mount it. He might not take one bigger in he’s lifetime. . It had close to 30 inches in extra points

I think I would risk the cartel to shoot one like that! Low fence, too.

In sure you would be surprised to know more American citizens hunt in Mexico every year than Americans go to hunt all of Africa in a year.
This site has a complete Mexico aversion. Its interesting to me.

Mexico is wonderful

Just food for thought! Cheers

Here’s my 2025 hunting report. My family now hosts 5 other hunters, including 3 grandchildren. (I only have myself to blame for their addiction). We identified 4 older bucks for harvest based on trail camera pictures, and one of them is 6 years old and we have 4 years of pictures on the property. For us that is rare as our property is less than a mile in any direction and they easily travel out of the property. The grandkids have a lot more privilege to shoot younger bucks but all hunters must take at least a doe if they want a buck. So for the season, including youth season we have taken 14 deer, including 5 bucks My season has been long mornings and evenings in the field passing young bucks, shooting does, and scouting for the rest waiting on the right age buck to make a mistake. He finally did last night.

This is a picture of my tractor bucket loaded with the 3 does I shot in ten minutes . Glad I have people waiting for meat.

My grandson with his doe and buck.

Just an old warrior. (The buck) Roman nose and plenty of mass. He has at least 2 younger versions walking around.

I had a wonderful experience this deer season. One of my employees was talking about working hard to get his 14 year old daughter a deer. She has hunted three seasons now and has barely seen any deer, much less shot at one.

They came up to my cabin and I set them in a blind before daylight. The deer came in and stayed just out of range , long enough for her butterflies to settle down.

I gave her the green light to shoot anything she wanted and as many as she had an opportunity for.

All said and done, she got two does and a buck! I am so happy for her and her dad!

Great 2025 deer season!!
