[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 2833444, member: 106514"] I was just west of there near Ashland not too awful long ago. And I've hunted just south of the OK border to the south of the Red Hills. I can tell you that in the areas I hunted, there are 200" Typicals walking around in the 5 - 6 1/2yo range. I got a 6 1/2yo bruiser, but mine only scored 151. He weighed around 280lbs, however. Lots of cattle farms and other farms in that area. High sage and canyons amongst the buttes, mesas, and high rolling hills there for deer to hide long enough to get huge. My kill was only 110 yards taken with a 250gr Barnes bullet. I missed one 2 or 3 years before that just inside Oklahoma that was a typical 10pt and would have dwarfed the old 6 1/2yo guy. He was an estimated 185" then, and was photographed again the following year even heavier with what had to be close to a 200" score. Those things look like dinosaurs compared to our deer in Mississippi. This guys brow tines were maybe 12 - 14". All 5 points on each side were about equally long with a spread that looked to be 24" or a little more. (They had him on trail cam a few times and I saw him personally through a riflescope at 99 yards away. I'll never get a chance at a deer that big again. Good luck! The numbers are very good around those parts. You will see 150 - 160-inchers running around everywhere. I saw way more bucks than does.
