Deer of a lifetime
 

A buddy of mine got a call from a ranch he hunts in Texas saying they spotted a deer of a lifetime on a trail cam . He packed his bags and headed west. After hunting for 4 -5 w/o seeing the deer he returned to Louisiana empty handed. Friday the ranch owner emailed him a picture titled "your deers head" . Apparently one of the ranch hands founds the deer of a lifetime dead, it appears that another deer killed this one. Anyhow here is a picture of its head

That sucks!!

For the ranch owner! Shooting that thing comes with a $15,000.00 price tag that he can get now!

What's the price for leaving empty handed? Room and board?

To me anyone who would pay 15000 dollars to kill a buck needs their head examined.

He shot a Gemsbok, so technically he didn't leave empty handed ,

Go check out Tatum plantation..........15K is cheap (for some)

He said everywhere else this deer (250") would be 20k+ but he has hunted with them a bunch so they offered it to him cheaper

If I was a millionaire I still would not pay that much for horns....insanity

I agree 100% If I was a millionaire I would much rather own my own land and manage my herd and grow big bucks. But hey, to each his own. That man can spend his money however he wants, that's his business.

That ain't my dream deer to shoot 15k at..

I want the buck that killed that one!

Thing has an odd looking rack.

clearly the work of a black panther

Buddies ranch in Laredo has lost several massive bucks to mountain lions.

They are not uncommon in Texas. I would bet with large headgear hindering you its hard to outrun a mtn lion, especially after the rigors of rutting

Looks to me like a deer that should have been culled 3 yrs ago, unless a recent injury acurred before this season!

No self respecting deer hunter would call that a dream deer.... Or pay 15k to shoot it!
That deer needed to b shot a few years ago....


Someone is blowin smoke up ur skirt pox.....

It's a Kool lookin rack no doubt; and would look great on a mount.... But it ain't no dream deer and not a 15k tag.

And what makes you qualified to say a 250" buck is not a deer of a lifetime??

It's a non typical deer.... Most ranches or clubs will kill those on site...
My Family in mississippi has land that they manage for trophy hunts... so i have A background in what makes a deer a "trophy" or "deer of a lifetime"
And I stayed at a holiday in express last nite.... Soooooo







What qualifies you??

A non typical can be a trophy to someone. Personal preference. Farm deer IMO but still some find them cool. Cool enough to drop some serious money on.

Can't eat the antlers, and 15k is some expensive sausage. PS, that rack nontypical will not score 250

Pox, it must be a bad pic or something, because that sure don't look to be that good of a rack!

Not nocking it at all, but unless that deer was wounded before this season to have made his growth the way it is, it should have been culled yrs ago unless the ranch is not worried about bad genes being spread!
Would I have shot him? Hell yes! Mounted him? More than likely!
Spent 15k on him? Not a chance in hell!

Lots of trophy hunters on here tonight I see

That's how it goes man! I sat in my climber for 3 days straight a few weeks ago saw nothing but does and small bucks. Perfect weather too. 3 days later, my dad brings his buddy and puts him in a box about 300 yards from my climber and he shot a good buck just before it walked out the field heading straight for the bottom where my climber was.

I love how peeps spend a butt load of money going to those deer ranch / Zoo.....
The guide they are with ask them (while the deer is eating corn due to the feeder) which one should I untie for you to shoot....the one for 12K to the left or the one for 11K to the right.....Sadly they actually think they really hunted and killed something....reminds of me of peeps going on one of those pen raised mallard hunts....oh look we killed 44 greenheads....LOL

That is not how it works dude

No saying this is how this deal was......but most are like I described....:p

That rack is whack......


But hey like the saying goes
" beauty is in the eye of the beholder(beer holder or gun holder)"

To each his own.

Touché :cool:
He still gunna eat the same:D

Most pay trophy hunts in TX are actually like that. A "biologist" sits in the stand with you and scores them and tells you what it would cost you before you shoot em. Like hunting in a pen. Some aren't though. I would never pay for a whitetail that wasn't fair chase/low fence.

I ment about Un tie it .

Lol well yeA they ain't tied up C Bus!

Pox get that weak sauce outa here :p










Just jocking ya! Don't post a pic of my guitars, my guitar hero guitar, or my bad azz collection of guns and knives again until I get a full body shave....lmao!!
