Texas has once again treated us very well so far! 2 down and 2 to go! I’m here with my 15yr old son Bryce. Last night was our first night in and I brought my old CVA Hawkin flintlock shootimg 90gr FFF and a patched roundball. Been wanting to kill a buck with one for a while. Killed lots of does but no bucks so figured this was the place to try. Bryce had his custom 260 shooting 130 Scirocco 2’s. I got the under 50yd shots and he got anything over that. What happened next was just unbelievable. Bryce said dad, “big buck right here!” I took one look and thought “oh lord!” Cocked the hammer and filled the pan and gave a little”meh”. He stopped and I centered the front blade on his heart and pffttt BOOM! Smoke cleared and be ran 40 yds and crashed! I knew he had mass and points but had no clue! 13 points and a rough score of 174-4/8”. That’s with 3-4” broke off a brow and another big beam coming out of his right base. So who knows how big he was!

Fast forward to next morning! Bryce was ready to go! About 7:00 I seen 3 does coming and seen tines behind coming through the timber and told him to get ready. Out stepped a 130” 10pt. As he was coming closer I noticed he was wide but had shorter tines(6-7”) and a broken brow. Bryce said he was gonna kill him. I talked him out of shootimg it at the last minute and wow was I happy he did. Just as he flipped the safely back on I looked to the left and seen a deer coming. Just as I raised the binos he lifted his head and I thought “OH GOD!!” I hissed “Bryce kill that deer!!!” He swung over and aimed at the point of the shoulder and “POW”, down he went. I knew he was big but Damn! 22” wide inside!!!! Haven't scored him yet but he gotta be a 140” 8! After a great pic session went back to camp and got them all caped and in the freezer! Back at it again for deer number 3 and 4! Hope u fellas enjoy the pics! These are all wild free ranging Texas Panhandle bucks. No high fences!

Great hunt!

You son will never forget that!

Those triple beam bucks are pretty rare as well... I only seen one, and promptly shot it. (like yours, mine had broken points as well)
