Rize Your ranch/lease in TX has some damn nice bucks on it!


Thanks! My brother and I have been pretty selective over the years once we gave the folks who leased it the boot.

I think this makes the 12th season I’ve been back close enough to drive and starting to manage it. Been hunting it 14 years in a row but just had a blind my brother and I could hunt the years before. 540 acres with power, water, house and shop for $3300 per year up until about 2011.

Hunters killed a lot of Nilgai , some Axis and Black Buck over the years. Took 4 years of me shooting nothing and I started to see major improvements year 5 and shot this buck. Was the first good buck outside of a few wide 6 culls I shot in 5 years.

He’s for sure older than 4.5. I’ve got 3 years worth of pics on the thread

5.5 would be the youngest but I think he was 4.5 not 3.5 in the 2021 pics. No way he was 2.5 in the 2021 pics.

I think you’re heavy on the mass.

Beams will be 20 to 21 each I think and I’ve got him at 26 in total mass. I think the tines are close to what you have.

The meat will be tastier than the “hunt” and story you force feed us.

Have to admit, I’m jealous of these popcorn “hunts”.

Eta quotes around the word hunt(s).

It doesn’t take much fir 5 inch bases. Looking again I may be heavy on the second mass guess. It’s a littke skinny there.

So I amend my score by 3 inches. I still think he is a 150 deer

He would score a tad better than my 143 I hunted on open land in Kitsachie, non-baited. I'd say 148 for the deer-shoot.

150ish based on G2 and G3 length. I'd say around 4.5 to 5 years old just guessing. He is a shooter for sure.

I retract my previous comment. He is old as dirt but he may be closer to 145 than I thought. Beautiful animal.

He's getting a slight beer belly so probably 4.5 or 5.5, that's when they start showing it.
