Got the Official Numbers

[Furlock Bones]

I shot this buck in December and have been waiting for 60 days (very impatiently) for drying to get B&C Numbers.
Here they are. Not a long range kill...rattled up and shot at about 35 yds.View attachment 256611View attachment 256612

Beautiful deer. Congrats.

Congratulations. That 60 days is nerve wracking. I wasn't so lucky. My best one was in for sure, really symmetrical 10 Point, until the 60 days passed. Then he was 168-6/8. Don't think I have ever been so disappointed. Such is life. Pretty sure it will still be my biggest one when I die.

It's the hunt that I would be proud of. I know that high scores are important but don't give up on a better buck. Keep at it and you never know what nature might connect you with. Just be prepared if the opportunity presents.
Good luck and keep at it!

That's a dream buck, congratulations!

Wow, congrats!
I have a dumb question... I know that all deer get 4 mass measurements per side. But on an 8, is the 4th mass measurement made at the halfway point between the G3 and the tip of the beam? or somewhere else along the beam?
Thank you

What a HOG! Mass galore! Great buck

It's really hard to get a picture that does it justice. When you hold them and feel 19lbs of antlers it really helps.
Here is a picture of the Taxidermist and a good friend holding them.View attachment 258109View attachment 258115

An absolute HOG!!!!

Yes at the half way point.

That's a great deer! Love the heavy bases and mass all the way up!

Just got my invitation to Texas Big Game awards as the buck won the low fence division for my area of the state.

Got an email from Tx Parks& Wildlife person who is researching my deer and he said that it beats the previous largest 8 point from Texas which was entered in 1999 and scored 172 2/8's and mine is 175 3/8 net per B&C
Now to see where he ends up all time.
