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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
