Biggest buck killed in Tx in 100 years -- 271 gross
This deer is reported to have come from Camp Bullis, right outside of San Antonio. Some say his score is 266, others say 271. Either way, a monster deer. Supposedly the largest wild buck killed in Texas since the Jordan Buck in the late 1890's from Melvin.

the Jordan Buck...
Are there two Jordan bucks?? The former typical world record Jordan Buck was shot in Wisconsin, not Texas. Please clarify for us. Thanks.

You are not going to believe these pictures shot N of San Antonio at
Camp Bullis YOU ARE JUST GOING TO DIE WHEN YOU SEE THIS ONE. I am
sending you all the e-mails attached so you can read about it. This was
shot yesterday or today at Camp Bullis which is one of the training
areas connected to Fort Sam Houston.
Jim is being told by Texas Parks and Wildlife that this appears to be
the second largest deer (point wise) in the state of Texas. It is the
largest in the last 100 years. Everybody and there dog is out at Bullis
looking at this buck. Three taxidermy have asked to mount this for
free. This should be in the papers soon.
We have had specialist stop to see the buck. One will measure again
today. They say this could be the second largest score in Texas and
maybe the largest in the last 100 years. The head when mounted could be
worth about $25K from what we are told.
Here is a buck of a life time. The buck was seen by helicopter in the
area of gun stand #77. The pilot radioed to operations and reported
that a severely wounded buck (was dragging his hind section) was
observed and gave the coordinates. Operations notified Andy and he
responded with a small search team. They found the buck and verified it
was severely injured (appeared to have a broken back). The search team
destroyed the animal. It weighed 118 lbs; had a 21 3/4 inside spread;
and, had 40 measurable points
Ok i have more pics of this buck but for some reason it wont upload them now is saying the page cannot be displayed after I select the file I want to upload, if anyone would like me to email them to them so they can post them im fine w/ that, have 4 more of this monstor

That was posted about 2 weeks ago somewhere else on the site. I believe there may have been a followup saying potential criminal charges may follow regarding the taking of the buck.
