DoctorDeath,

Texas bucks do get pretty heavy horned. Most people think they are all "penical racked" but honsetly I see very few mature bucks that have thin racks. Most mature bucks in s. Tx will have 33-36" of mass measurements, which isint huge but still along way from being pencil thin. My buddy this past season shot a 9pointer in s. Texas that grossed 159". The buck had almost 43" of mass measurements and wasent entered in any deer contest because he wasent big enough to place first in any contest for the "heaviest mass" catagory. I think the big difference between our deer and deer up north, is that our deer normally have to reach5 1/2 years old and older before they get decent mass. Compared to deer up north who can get really nice mass measurements at 2 1/2 or 3.

Heres a picture of the new Texas state record 10 pointer which was also killed this past season. It was taken off the 25,000 Shiner ranch. On average the ranch produces12-17 bucks each year that break the 150" mark, with most of those breaking the 160-170 range.

Heres another typical that was pictured underneath the one above. This typical will also make the B&C for the 04-05 season. He grossed alittle more then 185" even with a broken tine.....

Why wouldn't you?!?!?! It was not shot in a fenced area.Would it be because youwould wanna shoot such a beautiful animal or something? I certainly would not have any qualms shooting a deer that big. Granted I might drop my rifle cuz id be shaking so hard. Id probably rather shoot a huge typical than a monster non typical. Typical deer are so much pretier in my oppinion.

By the way the texas state record typical is 196 4/8 net. That deer is 196 2/8 net.

Nice buck. I agree, I don't think I'd have a problem letting one fly in his direction.

RE: 200" perfect 14 pointer, pics........
 

Nice looking buck, I tend to lean towards northern bucks due to their bigger body size and heavier antlers (mass) but that one is a beauty, almost 200 inches! I wonder what the deer weighed...
