Did anybody hear about this?

A deer on HWY82 five miles east of Gainesville got hit by a truck. The deer was a 8 point that had a 29in. spread and 17in. G2's. My buddy told me about it and they saw the deer and guessed his score to be about 180 to the 190's. Just curious if anyone up there heard about this deer?

No, but I dont doubt it.

I haven't heard about that but I'm with WellingtonTX.
I doubt it.

Guy, I know,(lives in Whitesboro, was not at scene) says big deer hit on 82 and game warden called out. He said 240.

I know!! I know!!
You said what did you hear?
That's telling what I heard.

I used to do a lot of duck hunting up there on the red river... seen some real big bucks in that area. Keep in mind... Haggarman is right there too and we all know the monsters that come out of there.

A 240 inch 8 pointer?

guess i need to put the bow down and start huntin with my truck!

ive got my diesel running and im planning on taking a road trip.

I bet if you just corned HWY82 really good you could get a good one!

this is what it would take for an eight point to 180 to 200 ....lets do the math....
6 in G 1 .............12 in
17 inch G2 's x 2.....34 in.
12 in G 3's x 2.......24 in let's go world class on main beam...30 in.x2.......60
mass..bases ..6 in....12
2nd mes..5 in..x 2....10
3rd mes..5 in.x 2.....10
4 th mes..4.5 x 2..... 9
spread...rumor is.... 29

total................200

I was in the taxidermy this afternoon and a guy brought in a buck from OKL. with mass like I put on this buck....it was a cool story he saw it swimming across the river...waited for it to get on land and shot it...he had a pic. of the deer in the river he was setting in camp when he saw the deer in the river ...

it would be neat to see a picture of that

I called a buddy that's a trooper there and he said the other trooper said it was nice, but probably more like 150-160...

I heard about it..and I heard the 29 inch part but I don't remember hearing anything about it being a 180-190 class buck i, with sig226

My buddy didn't see it, just talked to another trooper that did,

Ok I live about 5 miles east of Gainesville off 82. Where exactly was this deer hit? This is fairly close to the cooke county and grayson county border. I 2 miles off 82 across from shooters.

hagerman is 15-20 miles east of gainesville

I was just told it was about 5 to 10 miles east of Gainesville on WHY82.

I heard it was actually an Elk with Mule Deer antlers.

I heard it was a Cooke Co stationed trooper that worked the accident...
