Deer of a lifetime

[fishinpox]

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

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

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

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..

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??

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!
