My wife almost hit a very large buck early November last year off Parker Rd, between Old Denton and Josey in Lewiville, just North of Carrollton. One of my good hunting buddies has sent me some pictures of HUGE bucks off 114 near Trophy Club where he lives. They will be hanging out right by the service rd of 114. Plus, I know hunters who hunt Grapevine Lake (legally) and some who hunt in Flower Mound (illegally) and several very large bucks have been taken in Flower Mound with a bow. I lived right near 114 where your talking about by Ross Perots ranch on the back roads toward Keller for 3 years and never saw 1 deer but apparently there around there I just never saw even a doe.

I work right next to the cowboys golf course and Gaylord, and I hunt grapevine and I can assure you that there are no deer in this area not a single one. Last I heard al the hogs went to wise county too.

I have been fortunate enough to hunt some properties that are now subdivisions just north of the metromess(not in Collin cty). All I could do was chuckle at my friends as they drove 200-300 miles to chase little deer. 20min from the house we had some Giants and very few folks even knew there was deer there. Not unusual at all for one of us or all of us to see or kill a 170+ every year, even a few in the 190s. Well now the cat is out of the bag LOL. Deer have been there all along, and they were able to get some age. Friends would ask "what are you feeding". We never fed anything. Our deer were just older and given a chance to develop. Not 4yo either. Many deer killed were 8&9yo.

Last I heard al the hogs went to wise county too. Funny stuff here, I personally saw a 12ptr. or so 6-7 years ago Thanksgiving working the tree line across from Cowboys driving range, Gaylord side. I meahhh at him and got him to stop and turn his head; easily a 160" buck.

There are plenty of monster bucks around the Grapevine Lake area,and also on the DFW Airport property. My family has been in the Grapevine/Flower Mound area for over 130 years,and we've seen plenty of them all over the area. I had a farm/ranch where Grapevine Mills Mall is now,and we killed many nice deer off that property for years until we sold it in the 1990's.

Yeap that is him. That is my brother in law. The deer was killed with a bow Friday afternoon on family property. I helped track him. The pictures have been rolling around big time and the game wardens have been getting lots of calls. The Collin county game warden came and visited us tonight to check where and how this monster was taken. Everything checked out fine and we have waited to post the info on this to protect the family property. As many people know poachers and bad people may want to know where this deer lived. So it was amazing job my bro in law. He made a perfect shot and the buck ran 40yds before it died. We don't have an exact score but the spread is 23", based around 8". The deer has a huge body and a rocking chair to match. I will give more of the story and some pictures tomorrow. And no in not going to tell where he was taken besides McKinney area.

Thanks for posting and hopefully this will stop any "poached" rumors from flying around like they always seem to do with giant whitetails. Congrats to your brother in law on a buck of a lifetime!

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Just wanted to say the buck has not been scored yet so if you see a score floating around it is not real. It will be scored officially green soon, then when the drying time has happened it will be scored again for PY and BC.

I've known deer were around the DFW area, for years. This one, however, is a friggin' beast.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

Wow what a Stud, congratulations to the hunter I bet you could have heard his (hunter) heart thumping against his rib cage from a mile away when he had that bow string pulled back and the pin on that bruiser
