I've done a lot of La and south Texas and while harvesting a deer is no big deal in Texas, killing a big one is. None of the places we leased in Tx were game fenced but we tried to manage them and on the one in Junction we had more 8 pts than you could shake a stick at. But once they got over 3 years old, poof... you'll never see them again in daylight without seriously hunting your arse off.

Those who say South Texas hunting isn't hunting don't know what they're talking about or are just jealous. It's just different.

Paying for a trophy like that though... nah. Wouldn't mean anything to me then.

Yep I found out the same thing hunting out there. Our place was too small and got over pressured. The only time you would see a shooter was during the rut or rattling. I never killed anything big out there because everything I saw was broke up and I saw some big ones.

I saw a 190-200 class buck on the side of the highway in Menard. It was amazing to see something that big. Thinking back I should have turned around and shot that SOB!
