[QUOTE="svnmag, post: 383775, member: 330"] Shot my last buck in '09. 9pt@ about "out there a ways". The ground reduced the mass quite a bit by the time I made it out to him. Shot a few does and ate some buck tag soup over the years as I've never seen anything besting the nine. I get a little more satisfaction taking does as back in the Hills they were mostly forbidden fruit. You'd see 25,000 slicks a day with no fear and most buck kills were spikes and forks. Talked to Pard the other night: His wife took him on a booze cruise at the end of August all over the county. He tallied around 275 does and exactly [B]three[/B] bucks; [B]one[/B] was a respectable 8 (115-125) still in velvet. It seems the Hills are reverting back to the 70's and 80's. Conversely; everytime doe laws are liberalized it seems to bring on a "killer wet winter" and DNR biologists are retards. What does one do--blame the "Farmer's Almanac"?...fun stuff. If I were King of Deer Season: Texas antler regulations would be in place modified as necessary for spikes, 3pts etc with encouragement to kill does. I always cringe a bit when cutting off the cock and balls. [/QUOTE]
