    Nice Surprise, After Some Bad News

    Many of you guys remember that I'm moving to West Monroe, Louisiana next Tuesday, and will miss all but one week of deer season this year in TX. Since I only had one week I could take off work, I planned to spend the majority of that week in San Angelo at the ranch I've hunted for the past few years. Well, I found out this week, that I wasn't going to be able to shoot a buck this year at the ranch. It's a long story I guess, but was a total ******* to me, and I'd put all my hopes on this one spot to get every bit of TX season I could get. Needless to say, I was devastated, and felt like my chances of killing a TX buck this season were completely gone.

    Fortunately, I have a few small spots close to home (or what's been home until next week) that I still have access to. Neither spot is ideal, but both have occasional good deer that will show up. I checked my camera today just praying that there'd be a ******* buck on some of the pictures. I guess the Lord is taking care of me again, or at least giving me hope.

    He's not really a monster, but he's my only shot this year as far as I know. Needless to say, I'll spend every free hour I have back in TX, waiting on a shot. I've got a ton of pictures of this guy over the past 2 weeks, some in daylight, but a LOT in the dark. Hopefully he'll make a mistake and get hungry while it's shooting light!!!

    All my daylight pics are either blurry, or show him with his head down/eating. Based on these pics, anybody got any guesses on score?

    And for the record, this is a SMALL acreage spot, and is impossible to manage. He's a shooter on this place without question.

      Nice buck. He would be a shooter where I hunt too.

      Good luck.

            He's a shooter in my book. I'll take a Mature 11pt typical any day.

              He looks nice and if well worthy of the shooter status that everyone else suggests

                      Thanks Will. Can't wait to see them.

                      The funny thing about this buck is, he's another 11. I killed 2 11's last year. I've never in my life killed a 10. I'm actually a little bummed that he's got that little 11th point.
