I was lucky enough to get on the board this morning with this dude. I was prepared to sit all day. Had the water, beef jerky, snacks, WiFi hotspot and settled in for the long haul. 3 minutes after the whistle this guy comes out sniffing butts and chasing two doe. For about a minute all he was giving was a Texas wink, I don't like that option so I waited. He turned broadside to the left and I let the 243 loose at 72 yards. Not much tracking, but I didn't see him go down 17 yards away. Buck the plumber finally got his!

Nice looking buck

Nice! Congrats!

Is that some type of tightening ring stuck on his hoof.

Looks like a sink drain line tightening fitting doesn't it?
Wow. Looks like maybe it got stuck on there when he was younger?

Good going sir!

Hell yeah!!

Congratulations!

Pea trap collar. He must've gotten into some trash a long time ago. I asked the taxi to put on the shoulder mount. Kind of unique trash collector.

I'm looking at the photo and thinking, "Is there some new tag requirement I'm not familiar with?"

Make it a hat hanger still on the hoof. Very cool convo piece.

Congrats
And like most of us on here...jealous!

Congrats on the buck Bud…

Heck yeah!

I knew it looked familiar!

That's crazy but also cool.

Slip joint nut if we are getting technical…

Great buck! Congrats!

Awesome deer!

My first thought was "did TPWD start tagging deer and what did I win." Lol
