172 gross from Live Oak County-pics added

My brother in law, grosvenor on here, has taken a buck off our place that I believe is close to 165 or 170 net. 6x6 typical that we have gross scored at 173, and has about 6" of deductions if I have done my measuring correctly (please God).

Buck is on the way to pearsall. Is there an easy way to post pics from an iPhone on here?

We are really proud of this deer.

I'll be the first to post a Congrats....Way to go!

MkeC, I emailed you a pic. Much obliged if you could post it. Couldn't download the photobucket app, not enough signal at the ranch house.

No you're not ..........

post the chicks.

Well???

If I can't see a 170 from my blind I will have to look at yours. Come on MikeC give us some love.
Hey Cracker you fishing in the meantime? How close to Choke are you?

We are at the north end of lake CC, about a 45 min drive to calliham. Too far for a quick between hunts trip and have to fill feeders and run cameras today anyway.

At the very least that's a Jacket for him

Might as well now....

Sorry again, is there anyone else I can email a pic to?

Deer was scored in Pearsall at 172 3/4, so it will be his first jacket.

sent you a pm with my email address

I just got it, it was in my spam folder. It will be posted here in just a sec.

Awesome buck there, love the tine length - those G3s must be like 12"!

Glad to hear somebody scored opening morning, congrats!

Okay, Nice Deer, Very Nice...NOW send pics of wemen

VERY NICE!!!!

VERY NICE!!!!!!!

great buck

HOLY SMOKES!

Thanks everyone, and thanks to Mike for posting the pic. We have been watching this deer since early last year and think he is 6.5 this year. We knew he was honed in on two stands and in gave my bro in law the better of the two this morning and that's where he showed. But it's ok by me; I got my jacket in '07 with a 163.

This is the 4th deer over 160" we have harvested in the last 3 years on a low fence property in a county not known for big deer. Hard work and patience with your herd sure will pay off!

I'm sure the man of the hour will get on here soon to collect his praise lol!

Fantastic buck, thanks for the pic and congratulations to him !!

son of a' geezus what a buck congrat's man!

Remind's me of the Bow Madness commercial.... Call it Crazy Call it insane and then Call your taxidermist!

I'm sitting in my stand in live oak co north of cc too. I hope he spread some genes this way.

Great brush country buck!


way to go!

Dove buster, where is your place at? We are near dinero.

Great Deer. Congrats...

How big is the ranch? I would have been worried about the neighbors taking it first.

Well Done.

2200 acres. We have really good neighbors who are also committed to growing big deer so it's not that much of a worry. I guess we could have taken him last year when he was 160+ to be sure that didn't happen, but then he never would have made 170!

Congrats, really nice deer

very nice

good neighbors are a blessing. Allows you to be patient.

Enjoy.

Wow. Awesome deer

We sublease the pasture next to us to some friends and they killed a 170"+ deer this weekend, a massive 10 pt with kickers. I will post pics of it later when I get back to San Antonio.

I know the area well, and that is an awesome buck!

That is an awesome buck, congrats

WOW

We just got on a place in Live oak one month ago (late), not far from you it seems. We havnt been seeing much besides hogs and turkey yet. You give me hope.

Coming from a large deep south Texas lease, to a smaller peice of land close to the house is quite a change, but the brush is so thick, its unbelievable, even compared to the valley.
