… Uncle Swamp ? … push the play button

Bang....

Done created a monster here

I bet you weren’t camouflaged to the hilt either. Or washed your clothes in scent killer or sprayed yourself down with scent killer either.

… it’s a video… hit play.. you can see some of my wardrobe at the end lol

Bang here too

You let one go?

That dang city slicker that put that ladder stand near that oak thicket is gonna kill him.

Btw...where's that lever gun?

That looked like a bolt gun.

… Henry long ranger in 243 … edge of a clear cut on that hunt



… got a couple Henry’s in two four three

I watched it. I was pointing out most deer hunters believe you have to have all that stuff to get that close. And you can’t hunt a stand if the wind is wrong etc.

^^^ you’re right partner … I’ve been in spittin shot of a bunch without all that

Are there any deer in Texas that hit 100 pounds?

Brother Savell, I am quite proud of you.

… the one I drug out of the thicket last year did by quite a bit….I’m still sore lol

Nice buck

.. why thank you brother 160 .. hope this night finds you well

Love,

Savell

So you let him walk? Why didn't you whip out your gerber lock blade and take him out?

… only one tag left … got a couple in the freezer already

That had been me, that deer never would have known what hit it

When does season end?

… first weekend of January

Nice long season

Get a Nice one Savell

That's a good looking lever .243.

Did you name that 2 year old buck you let walk?

If not, you can name him Lucky...

Never…..

Dislike.

Disappointed in you big bro.

I know,,,, it is almost like taking me out of the gene pool…..

Umm he DIDN'T take it out of the gene pool.... if it'd been like you, I'm sure he woulda.

I will take that as a compliment…..

Tags make thin soup.

… truth of the story is a legal buck here has to have an inside spread of at least 13 “ or 1 unbranched antler … that one might have been 12”

… all the more reason for uncle Swamp to be proud of me

… more video evidence of me obeying the law

I thought the laws were crazy here in Maine

Good deal on the voluntary compliance.

Texas game and fish appreciates that...I'm sure.

… no they don’t… they’d rather charge me money and take my meat … I know the look of joy on a man’s face when I see it lol

Well...at least this time you won't have to see that look.

Nice friendly little deer.

… I killed her momma lol

What’s the reason for that? An age thing?

…. Big money deer farmer thing is what it is

Here’s a city deer around here.

Nice

Just curious so you must just make sure the inside spread is wider then the deers ears before shooting?

Yes Bruce. Always nice when you have a buck that won't turn his head! I had to let several bucks walk last year because it was just to close to tell. Trying to stay legal.

… a bunch of bs for the deer farmers is what going on these days

Yep for sure.Here in Maine that buck has to have at least one antler 3 inches long.

I do not like this Reg at all but we must abide by it. LOL. I don’t know about your area but in my area I haven’t seen where it has served it’s purpose.

… haven’t seen much difference… in fact my biggest bucks were killed before the law went in

That's a result of human nature kicking in.
If a feller is told he can't shoot a deer until it has X number of points and yay wide, by God he'll shoot every one he sees just above those specs out of spite mostly.
Before those regs came into play, that same feller would likely let that marginally "legal" buck walk and wait for a biggin, or a cow horn, or a doe.
Those kind of choices result in bucks getting older in the future.

Michigan enacted minimum antler point restrictions by county a couple years back. At our family property a buck has to have a minimum of 3 points on an antler to be legal. As a rule, we shoot 8 points or better. It has made an enormous difference the last couple years.
