NICE! that's cool he stuck around. We never see the same deer summer to fall like that.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

cool! Seems to be a heck of a year for deer in TX.
Having taken a buck right at 160 from the hill country I was amazed beyond belief this year.
We have an 8 with tiny crabs out right now, 14 inch G2s... no one will shoot him even though he needs to go. Everyone trying to find the needle like I found, in a big haystack.
Hill country was full rut this weekend. Bucks hemmed up with does all over, nothing much moving at all... I had someone tell me they quit eating already and went to acorns bla bla bla... some folks have NO clue.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I had dropped my oldest boy off at his blind and was on my way to set up under some trees along a big pasture when I spotted him 240ish yards away chasing a doe. Just had time to throw up the Kimber Montana .270WSM
He dropped at the shot. I had absolutely no clue it was the drop-tine buck, as with my eyes I could only tell that it was a good legal buck. To say I was surprised and tickled when I found out which buck I had dropped would be an understatement.
I've been hunting for him since archery season. Haven't seen him, nor captured on camera since two days after archery season opened. Figured he had moved on as bucks tend to do when hunting season and rut kick off.
He was approx. 1/2 mile away from where I had been getting pictures of him on trail cam since the summer.
Pure luck... right place at right time.

Pure luck... right place at right time. Crazy lucky! I just can't make myself shoot a deer that fast. I have to know what I"m shooting. Well there was one once... but I never got a solid shot at him in CO one fall.... but that one I KNEW at a glance was a solid shooter... Few days later I saw him again... 18 or 19 points and 200 some inches. The kid was happy with him. I was proud of the kid too. But dang thats good luck! The guys at the lease were all over me opener, I watched the almost 160 inch buck for 20 minutes and then decided he was the one. Grabbed the ammo out of the pack, loaded the rifle... put the muffs on the dogs ears, and about 5-10 minutes later had the perfect angle I wanted about 150 yards out. LOL, most said they'd have missed him when he walked out instantly. Congrats on a FINE deer!
