Best so far …

[Buffalobwana]

Free range, off my ranch in NW Texas. Last day of the season, about an hour before sunset. I'm calling him 180 … ok, fine he was 178 7/8.

Heavy, wide and 25" beams. I'll probably never shoot a bigger one.

That is a wall hanging Alpha buck! I don't think the vast majority will shoot one like him. Congrats

So far, big hawg and big buck. Congrats, your doing something right.

Well, they were spread apart by a few years! But, thanks for the props!

Most people will never see a live deer that big while hunting. That's a dandy.

True! My county produces some big deer, but even I have never laid eyes on a 180 before.

Talk about a grisly, old beast with a beautiful rack! I'd be willing to bet this was the last year he coulda been hunted, or at least stayed typical! Nice kill!

That's a free ranging beast! Great score for sure, but I don't even care about that. What a great looking buck!

Stud buck!

Several we hunted with moved up in the Childress area back in the 80's before the secret got out of the bag.
Great buck, it's good to receive a reward for all the effort that it takes to work a ranch. Thanks for sharing.

Yep! I started hunting that general area in 1990. Nobody leased out their land up there. I had free range of 20k acres until about 96. Then the secret got out.
