Is this where I come to show off my buck?

I had to work for this one. I was on a hunt in Texas and through 3 days hunting a 10 point we had not seen any mature bucks. My guide wasn’t letting me leave empty handed so we decided to do some redneck hunting. We road through the pasture looking for a buck. Found a nice 12 point and spent 2.5 hours stalking it on foot through brush including cactus. Never could catch up to the 12 point. Then we find the 10 point been after all week 75 yards from the kawasaki mule. Then chased him through the thickets for a good 30 minutes. Whoever said guided hunts were easy lied to me.
ETA: He is an 11 point that scored 181.

According to the website, looks like $10,500. Guided high fence hunts are not my cup of tea, but there is a seat for every saddle. Congrats to you sir!

It’s a check on the bucket list. I am going to have to go back for the food and to get me one of the 220 inch bucks but gonna have to save a while.

I’m proud of it and I learned to ignore the haters decades ago. Especially the ones on TD since 99% of them are sitting on a toilet at the time they are hating and why should I care about the opinion of someone with a dirty arse?

“I had to work for this one”
Dude, you killed an animal in a high fence. The work you did was for the money to go on the shoot. You didn’t mention that you killed the animal inside a fence until a poster looked up your trip. Embarrassing to the hunting community.

I’ve never hunted behind a high fence except a walking stalking hunt for Axis, and can absolutely say, hunt those wily SOB’s on foot on 2500 acres of thick shite and you’ll have put in more work than sitting in a blind or tree over a food plot or feeder waiting for a whitetail to walk out.
Now riding around on the roof of a jacked up Suburban on a bass boat swivel seat and shooting from there, and you and I are in total agreement.
Doesn’t matter otherwise, I ain’t got $10K to spend on a deer hunt. I’m still driving a 2003 vehicle with 280,000 miles on it. Definitely OT poor.

Did you ever start a thread to show off your Axis kill while failing to say that it was a fenced hunt? And say you have to work for it? If you’re going to post it, say it was a high fence hunt from the start.

This year I went on my first guided elk hunt. Free range, private ranch. Took 3 days. I never once felt like we might not get it done. The guide seemed more anxious about it than I was. The only work involved on my part was making a long shot and packing out meat, cape and skull.

Fair comment. I was too tired to post at the time.
I will say that one of the axis I took was a doe looking through a v in a tree across a field from us. The young lady guiding us (her Mom owns the ranch) tells me after it wouldn’t move for 15-20 minutes that if I didn’t have confidence in taking a shot, we would move on. I told her she wasn’t taking away my man card in front of my buddy like that, and shot it in the middle of the white throat patch. Made my buddy pace it off, 193 yards. And the only bullet I’ve ever recovered from an animal I’ve shot, classical mushroom, wedged in the neck.
I shake too much as I’ve gotten older to do that again, unless propped on the windowsill of a blind. Caffeine and alcohol are tough on an old dude.

It is my first trophy thread on this board. I don't know what all is required to be included in the post. Would you like to know what I had to eat for breakfast that morning (it was one of the best breakfast tacos that I ever ate in my life FWIW) or what color underwear I was wearing at the time (they were blue) too? It was killed on a 6,000+ acre ranch which is divided up into the multiple pastures. The pasture that I killed the buck in was around 1300 acres and far from the "tied to a tree" experience that high fence hunts get the reputation of having.

He was, the tips from successful clients are where they make their money.
