@Philip Glass , Perhaps you already said this, but what part of the country did you take this buck? My guess is south or west Texas, or maybe a little further out west(?).

God almighty ! Has that buck been on steroids ?

 

[Ragman]

Oof!!! That buck will beat a pile of our Saskatchewan bucks!!!

 

[Rickmt]

Beautiful deer ! And on your own place !

 

[Boyd Brooks]

Congratulations on an awesome looking buck! Never seen anything like that, in my part of the world.

 

[wesheltonj]

Congratulations, what were you feeding.

 

[Neil Molendyk]

Holy crap, what a beast. he has more points on him than all the whitetail bucks I've shot, combined. Congratulation

 

[kdenn]

Congratulations, what were you feeding.

Must be all that cactus they are nibbling on.

 

[AZDAVE]

Congratulations, looks your management plan of the property and deer has come together. Bet it is very rewarding knowing your patience and hard work have paid off and will continue. I Love the look of non-typical bucks of both whitetails and mulies.

I live at Water Valley which is just West of San Angelo. This deer was born amd raised right here where I live.

No only west Texas native pasture and seasonal supplementation. This is NOT a pen raised deer!

 

[Philip Glass]

Congratulations, what were you feeding.

Palmer Big rack seasonally. I keep a low livestock stocking rate as well as keeping an eye on the deer population as well.

I am still pulling cactus out of my hands from skinning him!

Thanks Dave!

 

[Philip Glass]

Awesome buck!!! You are a better man then me letting him walk at 5. But good knowing he got another year of spreading his genetics!!!

I did the right thing. It was very hard to do. He could have died fighting or from the winter or something else. I had just put so much into this area I had to get to 6 years on this one. It paid off. He was very thin down the spine and had many scars.

congrats - what a buck

What rifle setup is that? Been looking at getting a Ruger American myself

Philip what is your estimate of score…I know how humble you are sincerely but sometimes it’s okay to crow and this is one of them my friend!!!
