My buddy took this deer just north of Woodville (Tyler County) yesterday. Low fence and he has been hunting on this lease for 32 years. 22 points and scored 180 1/2.

180 1/2" or pounds???

Cool buck though.

180 1/2 inches by certified B&C score. 22 points, 19 scorable points, 3 broken points including a drop time and 7 inches around left base. Game Wardens are sending a biologist out today to measure and take a dna hair sample they are thinking it could be a Tyler county free range record.

Are you counting the broken stuff in the measurement to 180"?

Do you have a copy of the score sheet? I'd love to see how he gets there. Regardless, super cool buck and truly a giant for east tx!

I will get him to send a copy. Will get one from the state biologist today too.

Truly awesome buck!
I hate that we often detract from these amazing animals by trying to put a number on them. That's a once in a lifetime buck, that anyone should be over the moon about. Really amazing!!! Not too many people have killed a low-fence (or high-fence) buck with 22 points! So cool!

That said- I am really struggling to see anything close to 180 there. Like Tandy, I would love to see what I'm missing here and how he gets to 180. Pictures can be deceiving, for sure.

But this is a truly awesome buck if he measures 140, 160. 180, or 200… it doesn't matter. Your friend got an amazing deer, and should be proud!
