These sandhill mulies are some of the biggest body deer that I have ever killed. It took 4 of us to load my buck in the truck. There was no doubting when you found a mature buck, he looked like a yearling steer standing out there. I didnt weigh my buck, but just guessing, he was bumping 300 lbs. He was very old, and his teeth were at the gum lines.
Your west Texas deer, or the ones around Alpine, are not going to be this big, or from my expierence, they will not be.
I have never seen deer as fat as these bucks that we killed this weekend. There was a 1 inch thick layer of tallo over there back staps running to their butt.
The shinery was full of acorns this year down there, and range conditions looked very good.
