I got this buck on Friday evening right at dark. We had been getting pictures of him for 4 years, but before Friday, no one had ever laid eyes on him. He came out 10 mins before dark, and angled across a hay meadow towards my stand and jumped a fence about 70 yards from me. He measured 20 inches inside spread, with 21 points that you can hang a wedding band on. He'll probably have 14-15 scoreable points. His left main beam measured 22 inches, with 6 1/2 inch bases. His neck was 23 inches in circumference. He weighed 192 lbs on the hoof, which is pretty dang big for that part of the state. We are guessing that he’s 6 ½ years old. He was taken on my father's low fence property, and by all accounts, had spent his entire life there. At the exact same moment, his 3 ½ year old son was taken by another man who hunts with us, 2 miles away. 10 point with a 16 ½ inch spread. He was ready to step up to fill his father’s shoes, but never made it. For native East Texas low fence bucks , I’d say we made a pretty good haul. I definitely got shined on in a big time way Friday evening!

Being a Huff, you must have taken that on the Grapeland side of the county, nice! Those don't make it to the southeast side.

That'd be correct sir...about 5 miles west of Grapeland on the Big Elkhart Creek.

We have a lakehouse on HCL. I've seen some deer running around on 229, but nothing like those bad boys.

Nice deer!

Trust me....5-6 years ago, these bucks WEREN'T running around. The 13" rule + constant protein + selectivity is starting to pay off. In the past 4 seasons, we've taken 2 upper 130's, 2 upper 150's, and now these two. Prior to 2010, the we had never taken anything over 120. Cant wait to see what the next 4-5 years have in store.

Can you post the pictures of that panther you stomped back in the day?

I would, but my "Pro" status prevents me from doing so. Besides, I was only 3 years old at the time, and not capable of simultaneously stomping and taking pictures. He was a nice one, no doubt. Dang sure wasnt no chupacabra either. Bonafide East Texas souped-up wildcat...I just wish I had pics.
