If you go to South Texas around Cotulla to Ensinal the deer have bigger bodies but their racks are as big as a white tail gets. There's three keys to big racks, Genetics, Nutrients, and Age. If the local deer populace has any kind of decent level of protein available in the forage, and genetics potential and the deer are allowed to get to 3-4 years or more, you're going to see some nice racks. This happens in that part of Texas moreso than the rest of the state. People come from many states to hunt in South Texas for this reason. But the bodies aren't as massive as the northern deer. I used to hunt on my ex father in law's land in Central Missouri and I saw some massive bodied deer, but never saw a rack to surpass anything in South Texas.
What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!

This was in October, he may be the deer facing away, almost in the brush. Wifey took this pic, also on our place. ![[Linked Image]](http://a65.tinypic.com/2j1ogo2.jpg) damn. I havent seen anything like that since PA in the mid-late 70's.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

I walked out this afternoon, saw this buck at the end of my place. I have oats and winter wheat planted between the buck and where I took this pic. I drive 4 hours to my lease. I’ve never seen a buck comparable to this one. ![[Linked Image]](http://a65.tinypic.com/2zyakhx.jpg) Dang! Wish I could get the pic to show up.
