My Wasatch late bull from 2022.

Deer season isn't officially over until the sausage is made and put in the freezer. My daughter took two nice bucks this year. Her first mule deer, and her best ever whitetail. This is the end result of adding about 40 pounds of pork shoulder and 20 pounds of pork fat to about 70 pounds of...

I recommend you looking into Caprock Outfitters out of Fluvanna, Texas. Robert Fowlkes is the owner and outfitter. Outstanding guy with an outstanding ranch to hunt. No frills hunt, but very reasonable. You can find him on Facebook at Caprock_Outfitters or email "[email protected]".

I will add that the shot needs to be a little further forward than what you would consider normal because their vitals are set more up between their shoulders. If you happen to get just a little far back, you will miss the back of the lungs. Most blackbucks are small in stature, so the sweet...

She is shooting a little H&R Handi-Rifle with a 24" bull barrel chambered in .243. Single shot rifle. It really is a handy little rifle. We have both taken multiple animals with it. Extremely accurate, and we aren't afraid to take it out and use it. Tough as nails.

We wrapped up our 2020 hunting season with a bang on Saturday in the Texas panhandle. My daughter scored on this buck with her rifle just minutes after shooting right over his back with her bow! He hung around just a little too close and a little too long. She put the time in with her bow, but...

Most of the fishing I have done in 76 is in Big Meadows reservoir. It is up on Wolf Creek Pass on the 76 side of the highway. Well stocked with good access. Further up the pass is my favorite place to take the family. CDOW calls it Tucker Park Ponds, but we call it Tucker Ponds. Two little...

Well my daughter finally scored on a Texas mule deer! i couldn’t be more proud of her. One very well placed shot from her 6.5 Creedmoor and he was hers. Huge thank you to Robert Fowlkes with Caprock Outfitters!! It was an awesome hunt in some beautiful south plains country. Mule deer...

Here is a photo of the 8 point buck my daughter Merrit harvested Sunday evening here in Texas. We had numerous trail cam pictures of this guy, and she had even picked him as "THE" deer that she was going to take. It was about a 25 yard shot with the crossbow, and her third buck in three years...

Here is a picture of the 8 point whitetail that my 13 year old daughter took in the Texas panhandle on Saturday. She shot him at about 20 yards with her crossbow. This is her second buck in three years, and by far her biggest. She will have to work pretty hard to beat this one. The crossbow...

Interesting question. I did my best to hide them in the photos, but this buck had three spots that were about 6 inches long and three inches tall where the hair was completely gone. All three were down the front, left side of his neck. It looked very similar to the calous that they get on top...

I took this buck on Sunday afternoon up in the Texas panhandle just north of Pampa, Texas. I was hopeful that I had killed my first 80 inch buck, but he comes up about a half inch short. His prong length is his only weakness at 4 1/2 inches each. He is 15 1/2" on his left and 15" on his...

These particular bucks are in Roberts County just north of the town of Miami....in Texas that is pronounced My-Am-Uh by the way. We do grow some big bucks, but they are on the big private ranches. LOL

Here are a couple of photos that my soon to be 12 year old daughter took this past weekend here in the Texas panhandle. She took both photos without the aid of a tripod with her mom's Nikon D90 and a 20-200mm telephoto lense. The photo of the mule deer doe and fawn was just too good not to...

I know these guys don't compare with some of the monsters that are being taken across the country, but thought I would share some photos taken by my 12 year old daughter this past weekend. The smaller buck here is probably only 2 1/2 years old, and he has a very bright future....as long as he...

Here are a few pronghorn bucks that are on the hit list for my 12 year old daughter in October. I think the first buck is the youngest, and will go somewhere around 70 inches. The other two are much older, and I would say somewhere in the 75 inch range. Which buck would you put at the top of...

This is my first post to the mule deer forum. I wanted to share a picture of a huge forky that my niece took this past weekend in the Texas panhandle. This guy was the size of a small horse...it's just too bad his antlers didn't match his body. We have actually tried to take this buck for a...

You were the closest of the guesser's. He taped at 155 1/8 inches gross this morning. I was lucky enough to take him with a crossbow at about 25 yards yesterday evening. My biggest buck to date. He was 22 3/4 inches wide with 22 inch mains and four tines over 8 inches. Just an awesome...

I posted a couple of pictures on here a month or so ago of a whitetail that was prowling my grandma's farm. I was lucky enough to take him yesterday with a crossbow from about 25 yards. I am proud to say that I misjudged him in my previous message. I had guessed him at around 145 inches, and...

Here are a couple of pictures of my 10 year old daughter Merrit's first deer. Apologies for the long story, but firsts are always memorable. It all started when Texas legalized crossbows. Merrit had an unpleasant experience with her .243 last fall (just a small bump on the noggin), and had...

Well my Texas season did not work out quite like I had planned. I sat on opening morning and watched as the neighbors took out the two best bucks in a group of about 40 antelope that roam the area that I had permission to hunt. I tried to hunt the same herd after they relocated to "my" place...

That's exactly the type of opinion I am looking for. Thanks for the stab. I agree on judging from a photo. I am still pretty convinced that the longer of the two (#2) will go closer to 15", but he definitely loses mass on top. Thanks for your guess. I plan to have one of them on the ground...

Here is a pretty nice ten pointer (plus stickers) that is prowling my grandma's farm. I am including two different pictures for reference. I am guessing him at around 145 +/-. What do you think?

This is my first post on this website. I have been a viewer for a couple of years, and really appreciate most of the opinions given here. I am hunting antelope in Texas here in about a week, and I have two bucks located on the property I am hunting. Both bucks are bigger than my previous two...
