Texas trophy deer made it to Kansas

[jigs]

while walking for deer this afternoon, I came upon a shed that a monster Texas deer, who had made it north to Kansas, lost this past spring.

I only found one side, and hope I do not run into this guy in the woods all alone. these big bad boys need to stay down there with Haymaker !!

Nice buck. 'Must be a migration.

A couple days ago I saw one almost that big here along the South Dakota, Nebraska stateline.

What would you guess yours'd measure?

Good thing Haymaker has that big gun . Hope that New Holland has the hydralic power to lift one that size. :wink:

it scored a negative 35 on Boone & Crockett.


gonna mount it and give it to my neighbor, he never gets his deer. guess leaving the pickup is out of the question for him!

If you would take that back to Texas it would probably score 180 (if'n you let a Texan measure it) :wink:

Take that buck to Texas,and he would'nt make it to a measurin tape,I would have that thang skint, ground and hanging in my smoke house,that's exactly the kind I hunt ...................good luck

I have to agree with you on that Haymaker-- some of those big old bucks get pretty rank...For eating purposes I'd just as soon have a doe or a little buck early in the season...

My son got a pretty nice 7 X 8 Whitetail the other day that had probably been in rut for 3-4 weeks- really had a swollen up neck...When he pulled in the yard he didn't even need to tell me- I could smell it from 50 feet away.... :lol:

He took 3 deer that day- all with one shot each- and like Heelfly all using the 22-250.... :wink:

Yeah, Oldtimer when I found out what some of these folks will pay to shoot a big buck,I quit huntin em,I killed my share of them,I will take a fat doe or yearling buck for my sausage,as I type this I glance out the window to a wheat field covered with deer,see a nice buck that's safe around the house here,I dont know if he is smart or lucky but I see him regularly in a creek bottom days, and up on the wheat fields in mornin and evening,too cold to be deer hunting today,bout 28 degrees cloudy windy and light snow/sleet,how's your weather ?..............good luck

We've never shot a buck that wasn't fit to eat-meat locker guy says I'm the fussiest guy with wild meat he knows but-we just had stirfry last night off a buck in the middle of rut that was awesome. I don't hang our deer very long-hours instead of days usually-I filet the backstraps out right after I skinn them and never cook anything with bone in or any fat on it. Some guys cut out the scent glands-that just gets that stink all over your knife I just skin them off with the hide. Most of our bucks are dropped without knowing they're being hunted-if the get run around much maybe it makes a differance. In fact those smaller bucks probably get morwe heated in the rut than the big boys-they run all day horn dogging and never get to seal the deal-the dominant deer are busy breeding but get their does easier.

We're in a heatwave now-- temp is 6 degrees- ESE winds at 20- chill factor only 15 Below now...They are predicting we could get to 12 above today, but are also saying another inch or two of snow :roll:

Well,I hope you got a big fire going in the fire place,I know I do, after I got it going good it dawned on me ,I gotta stay holed up around here tending it all day,so much for going to the water hole,dang cold aint good for nothing,seems like everything is slower and more accident prone when it's cold...................good luck
