I bet he's in the 170's.

Ok after reading your second post I see the picture now and agree with you. It would be like fishing a shore line for large mouth bass on a public lake and a guy swinging right in front of your boat...

I'm of the same opinion to that it is public land and everyone with a tag has a right to hunt there. My thought on your particular situation is to ask the guy where he was planning on going and try...

Optimistic. Everytime I step foot in the woods, I feel like I am going to see or harvest the biggest animal there is. And I just keep waiting for him to step from behind that next tree.

33 days, 14 hours and 58 minutes before my dad and I get to chase bulls in Utah. I can't wait. Actually I just can't wait to get out of Texas and away from 106+ degree heat everyday.

I did a scale on his g-4's in the first picture. Every thread or article I can find says from the base of their antler to the tip of their nost is 15"-16" long. I used the more conservative 15" for...

Another picture of the big bull. Any guess on how long his main beam are?

That deer hits 220" on the conservative side. A true specimen in every sense of the word.

Drew, after you get it I will take it off your hands. PM me and we can square away the shipping.

A lot of the deer breeders here in Texas will use Red lights when they are working the deer through the vaccination barns. They don't see red as well as a lot of other colors. They do pick up the...

This is one of the better threads I have read in a while. Good job Hubba. I think we all should take the same approach you did with this guy, but I myself would have probably told the guy where he...

Put some measurements down and see what ya'll think.

g-1, g-2 and g-3 - 15 inches per
Royal - 25 inches (I think they are longer, but if I overshoot the first 3)
5th - 15 inches
Main Beams -...

The bull is in Utah. The thing I like most about it, the picture was taken on July 9th.... so he's still growing.

I've heard the Vortex Nomad is hard to beat for a 60mm scope under $300.

I've only got one picture of him, but he looks pretty nice. I am interested in seeing what everybody thinks this bull will go, assuming he is a 6x6 frame.

I don't think I could pass him either Hubba. He's a good bull regardless of the missing 2nds.

From those pictures, it looks like he has 6 on his left beam and 5 on his right beam, no 2nds on either side and it looks like his 5th on the left side is a little short. Definitley a nice bull, but...

I bought my dad a pair of these for fathers day. I got a chance to use them the other night while doing a spotlight survey for whitetail deer. I was actually able to spot things that the other two...

I agree with BOHNTR. Wardens here in Texas are given a power called Officers Discretion. I am assuming that other Wardens in other states have the same power. If they feel an animal is dying and will...

Curious to see what everyones thoughts are as to the best value for handheld gps units for hunting? What has the best topo features, the best trailing, etc?

Was wondering if anyone could PM me any info on waterholes around the Carracas Mesa and also anything west of Frijoles Peak? Looking to get a game plan together.

I got my Unit 2b Middle Rifle Tag in the mail yesterday and Dad got his in the day before. Time to get a gameplan together.

Look at the Steiner line. They have excellent quality glass and I can look through mine all day long and never strain. They don't break the bank and for the money I think are hard to beat. I have the...

I would hunt with a camera like Rob suggested this year or get the otc elk tag and chase them around while getting a feel for the terrain.

My dad and I are planning a mule deer hunt to Unit 2B in New Mexico end of October, first part of November. Problem is we have no gear for a hunt like this. So here's my question. If you had $1,000 -...
