Nice bow kills from Texas. A continuing thread.

[oppthepop]

UNBELIEVABLE! Congrats to ALL the guys in these pics with some incredible bucks. Ahhhh to dream of Texas................

 

[oppthepop]

The Texas forum guys are having a contest to see who can shoot the biggest free range(no outfitters, ect) bow kill deer in Oklahoma(a lot of TX guys hunt OK because the land is more affordable).

There are just shy of 60 forum members in the contest. They are starting to kill some good ones.

None were named(yet).

184-2/8 low fence bow kill this past weekend.

7 year old 182" killed on 10-17-20.

 

[jiminbogart]

Shot by a forum member's brother. The first arrow he has ever shot at an animal.

 

[jiminbogart]

For all y'all that like naming deer, here's one.

This is "Pretty Boy". It was shot this past weekend by a forum member's son on college break. They have watched him since 2016 when he was a 10 pointer.

Killed in the Texas hill country.

Here are a few more. No bad for a bow forum that has had the season going for 3 weeks.




Big 6!


I think this guy only bird hunts. It took him 3 months to get this picture.




These last two came off of the King Ranch. I asked in the thread and they said the King Ranch is all low fence and they don't breed/raise deer. Those ore indigenous deer!




185"

 

[jiminbogart]

Last ones. I'll add more to the thread as the shoot them.




This one would be big no matter how far back the guy sits.

I'd like to go out there and just sit in a blind and watch those deer.

Those guys spend big dollars on land, feeders, feed, blinds, waterers(it's dry in a lot of areas), ect.

Some of them(I'm not talking about the actual pay places) even have hired hands to keep their deer property managed.

It's all relative. We spend a lot on our little 110 acres in Meriwether county too. I know if i COULD, I would be right over there with them. Texas has produced some SERIOUS bucks over the years and these are simply amazing pics.

One thing that has surprised me is that the deer have decent sized bodies too.

I always though of Texas deer as small deer with big racks. Several of the deer I posted are in the 200lb range.

Not bad for eating rocks and sage brush.

Here's one a fella killed yesterday. 146-2/8. 8.5 year old deer. They had seen this deer as a 130's 10 pointers for the past 4 years.

He shot him opening day and hit him a little far back(look at the trail can pic and you can see the wound spot. It was a pass through. Dog could not find the deer.

In the next pic you can see the healed would a couple inches back of the kill shot.
The deer came back to the same feeder.

 

[jiminbogart]

Last ones for today.


154-4/8(looks bigger to me). 6.5 years old.



City buck.

 

[jiminbogart]

A few more;

This was shot this AM live from the blind:


King Ranch. Not sure if it was gun or bow 260-5/8:



Not sure if I already posted this one:

 

[jiminbogart]

Them boys in TX are getting serious.

He missed a hog at 40 yards and shot this 16 pointer 20 minutes later at 10 yards. Killed it today.



Low fence deer he killed last weekend. Posted it today.
Scored 195 AFTER the brow tines were broken off. Live weight 235. Aged him at 6.5 but they think he was older.



127-4/8 5.5 year old. Shot today live from the blind.



Fella saw this one in Lavaca County. That rascal is swoll.

This was on sat 10/24/20
Casas Blancas/Laredo

But yet Texas allows multiple bucks per season, rifle hunting, baiting and a long season and they are still killing monsters after decades of this kind of hunting.


Imagine if they went basically archery only with just a couple of weeks of gun season like the famed midwest. No telling what they could grow

Unreal the deer from Texas. Thanks for sharing.

What is a "low fence," and assuming it does not hinder deer movement, why does it need mentioning?

I assume most or all of these properties run cattle, so perimeter fences would likely show all boundaries. I just don't understand the use of the term.
