I was fortunate enough to take this nice 8 pointer last Tuesday, which was a cold calm morning after a day of very high winds.

Nice, congrats

👍 nice

I was hunting on a half section of low fence cattle pasture and was scanning thru my binoculars along the tree/brush line and found him standing at the edge of the brush. As I was getting my scope on him he was turning to go back into cover. At the first shot I'm almost sure I hit him but he didn't flinch, jerk, or buck, just kept casually walking away. I kept shooting 2nd and 3rd shots as I could see him slowly walking thru the brush and trees and then he was gone.

After giving him about half an hour I went to check and found him laying about 40 yards from where I first shot. He had one hit where the tipped TSX 168 had passed thru behind his shoulder missing major bone. Evidently the other two rounds I had fired were deflected in the brush or had hit some branches.

There were no scales available, but he was much broader across the rump than some other bucks hanging in the barn. One guy examined his teeth and seemed confident he was more than six years of age. In comparing him in my memory of some mule deer I had been around that were weighed, I'm guessing he would field dress about 170 and live weight a bit over 200.

Great buck!

Nice!!

Nice buck. There are some huge bodied bucks out in that country. A buddy of mine used to always hunt right across the OK state line and killed several that went between 170 and 185 dressed weight

That’s a heavy boy...Congrats 😎

Nice buck. congrats.

Very, very nice work sir congratulations!!

Toad!

Nice buck StrayDog.

He's a bruiser. He is so big it makes it hard to judge the antler spread. Congratulations.

Nice!

Congrats! Nice buck!

We are heading up there Thursday.

What a hog. Good job.

Cal and distance?

Tejano,
The only measurement I took before dropping off at taxidermist was the inside spread = 18 1/2", the remaining measurements are probably pretty typical for a 6 year old.

Jaguartx,
It was a Tikka T3 Lite 30-06 with 168 tipped TSX, range was about 120 yards.

Very nice buck!!!!

A behemoth of a buck

Very nice, we killed some in Coleman County that field dressed 200 lb. They grow big in farming country

Great buck! Congrats!

Ron

That buck sure looks like he was eating well:) Congrats on a good one!

Congrats on a very nice buck,StrayDog!

That portion of the ranch had a wildfire burn the grass and underbrush a few years ago. Maybe that fresh brush accounts for his nutrition

That's a fat boy....congrats....

When I was a teenager I hunted dove season a few times near Coleman At Cross Plains, Callaghan County. I remember seeing a very large bodied deer there.

Nice job! I love the first time you spot them on the ground and see their antler standing out like that so you know its a good 'un for sure!!

I missed this the first time around - nice buck, SD!

Very nice! Congrats.
