He's hitting the protein hard. I haven't seen him at any corn feeder. Sucker's spoiled to protein. I'll stop feeding protein before you hunt him. I ain't promising tender... wink that's what they make mechanical tenderizers for.

He's gonna score plenty. He's still putting on length believe it or not. I didn't. But he is. I just hope he doesn't break anything rubbing out...

I've got him at 148" right now.

Nope. The one in Uvalde (the second one) is 3,000. But I think he might be sold. Just got my cameras out down there though and I may have another one or two.

You were about 5 minutes early of me deciding while texting Rusty that night that I was going to let the wife shoot that 8, good luck on your hunt. We found another one she should like out there but IMO hes over 150" mark.

Yep. I hadn't explained that to JGilbert yet, but bbd84 is a personal friend and JG got his money in LESS than 5 min before bbd texted me he wanted it.

Put me in a nine line bind for a while, but bbd did what friends do and made it easy for me to get his wife another buck. She's gonna be happy...

Looking forward to seeing current pics of the South TX 8 point! If he looks anything like he did last year I am pretty sure either my son or I would like to have a chance to take him home smile

Yes sir he does, we hunt out there with Rusty a good bit throught the year. We dont hunt at our ranches we manage and run as its not nearly as much fun as it is to go somewhere else and see new country. Good luck, have you decided on when your going to try and hunt him ? If I see him Maybe ill get to take some pictures of him alive before you can get a chance to get down there to help the wait go by slower for you haha.

New pics on the way.

I still haven't gotten him at a corn feeder. Him and several others flat out won't go to a corn feeder right now.

But he LOVES protein. So I moved a cam to the protein feeders and voila!

He is very nice. I kind of regret not booking the hunt.


Live to hunt, forced to work!

The one in the pic is sold if he's still alive. I might have more similar ones when I check cams next. I'll post pics when I get them. Thanks!

Yep, the more he grows the more I regret not shooting him myself. He's gonna make JGilbert's wall shine.

Rusty if Jeremy would have told me sooner about the big 8 he wouldn't have had long to make up his mind. My wife would have been killing him. Glad to see Jgilbert and Shaw are going to take a couple great bucks. Maybe I need to steal your number from Jeremy so I can get higher up on the call list haha!
