Biggest buck in texas??

Who else wonders about the biggest(horn) buck in Texas?? I have always thought he is chillen in north texas along the red river. Maybe denton county. Or out west on a huge 10,000 acre ranch that is not hunted. WHO KNOWS!! He could be in east texas on a 10 acre patch of woods???(not)...Who else has thought about this?? If so, where do you think he is at??(county)

Behind a high fence

Everyone thinks about, just few will ever see him...

Fixed it for ya

Could very easily be a record deer or two running around on the W.T Wagoner Estate or the 6666's ranch.

In my back yard!!!



I've seen him!!!

Who knows... he could come from anywhere now that deer are getting age on them.

yup anywere from mexico up to grayson co.

I saw a matched pair of mounted sheds found from a LF buck in mid 90's. They came off a 10,000 acre+ Panhandle ranch that had not been hunted since the 30's. Those sheds grossed in the 270's and net in mid 260's with an estimated inside spread. They had found his left antler the next year and it had over 145" alone on that side. If he had ever been killed he could possibly have beaten the current state record NT.

not counting bucks hand fed with pet names the Golden Triangle gets the most Booners, but a Red River or "city" buck as largest free range wouldn't surprise me.

My bet is on dee's choice above. Either on the "Wag" or four sixes AFTER the drought is broken.

The difficulty of topping the Brady Buck is extreme.

We talking typical or non typical?

Could be anywhere in the state with management and age structure as it is these days. Just takes the right buck born at the right time and then the right age in the rainfall year to match.

prolly at BPS or Cabela's

Brady Buck photo above was shot at Cabela's in Allen. There may be a bigger one hiding in there somewhere...

Brady buck mounted with a Northern Cape... *shiver*

Yeah, I know.

Had a neighbor who used to mount horns using Doe capes and smaller forms. He said they looked "purtier".

more like made his horns look bigger!!!

Guuss it depends on whether you're referring to 'real' deer or not. Hard not to guess Panhandle for free-ranging deer. But, if you're talking about high-fenced, breeder bred, protein fed, TTT'd, DMP'd, genetically altered, artificially inseminated, hand-raised, mostly tame, half-stupid, genetically-altered 'deer', could be anywhere.

Glad I'm not the only one that knows there are monster's running around those places. There was a 212" deer taken off a place next to the 6666's a few years ago very impressive to say the least.

Webb, Dimmit, La Salle. Might as well be high fence, can't hunt there unless your a kazillionaire.

Free range. no HF!

The largest typical I've ever seen on the hoof was in Hemphill Co at 1 am driving to a rig down a lease road. It was just before Thanksgiving and he had his nose to the ground, started to cross the lease road and stopped about 10 yards in front of the truck. The 2-3 seconds I got to look at him, I know he had at least 20 inches on the ten I was lucky enough to take which was 160". A buddy of mine took a nontypical about 12 miles SW of where I saw this one that netted just under 200".

So where is it cheap to hunt for the average thousandaire?

South Tx or the Panhandle or any where in between.

Shelby Co

Webb.

Pitchfork ranch is as good as any...6666 fenceline sounds about right. Or the Beggs ranch,or .......

I hunted a large ranch next to Beggs at Jayton. Some really great bucks on both ranches.

Or it could be in George Bush Park or Bear Creek tree farm or Cullen park and adjacent areas. I saw a drop tine buck at the side of in George bush park. And some monster hogs too,

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see a record buck come from just outside the city limits somewhere. My uncle killed a huge buck several years ago on 80 acres that you can literally see the town from. I killed a nice 8pt there also, you just have to be careful how you hunt it.

If not imported and engineered genetics, I think the largest horn
deer I've seen were So. of Cotulla, Batesville, Encinal, Miranda
City toward Hebbronville...Now days with high fences and imported
genetics you may see some granddaddys anywhere, but they are'nt
always home grown...My buddy killed a 30 in wide inside yrs ago
just past the Cook ranch,and my old hunting Buddy, long deceased,
killed about 5 over 25 ins. on the Rafter S Ranch at Batesville
when we worked for Pet West..DD

On Luminant Mining Property... I've seen a couple that were, well, huge.

y'all are all wrong....any where stx sets down roots is my guess.

You mean 10 years after he sets down roots. He has to kill everything in sight first and then let them grow. I bet his neighbors at his new place are going to have a fit and think rambo moved in next door

mow em' and grow em'

I saw a hell of a buck on part of the rafter ranch last December

The biggest buck in TX will end up swimming across the red river trying to get away from Oklahoma poachers

He would never make over

Ya he is screwed if he try's to do it east of 35.. You will have fight in the middle of the red..... east TX poacher and oklahoma poacher calling claim.

He's got a chance though west of 35

He'd get killed with a frog gig Eo35.

Biggest deer in TX will get shot in East Tx which will have everyone scratching their head and crying fluke.

Where the heck are you guy's finding a spot in the Red that's deep enough to swim?

Good point.. He will be wading south

Hopefully on the Wag. since my new lease backs up to it.

Northside of Lake JB. Thomas. Borden County, along the Scurry County line.
Pin point it more so. Due North of the "Sourdough" Community.
Along the West Shore.

That far west you think??
