The Brady buck is still the state record, No?

From the article:

In fact, the buck is so enormous that it crushed all the previous Texas Big Game Awards Program records and now ranks as highest scoring non-typical ever taken on open range in Texas by rifle or bow since the program began logging records in 1991-92. It also is the biggest free ranging Texas whitetail reported statewide in nearly a century.

The amazing set of antlers tally an official Boone and Crockett gross score of 278 5/8 and a net score of 268 4/8. A main frame 10 pointer, the buck grew 31 scoreable points, 117 7/8 inches of abnormal bone and carried more than 43 inches of mass atop main beams measuring 18 7/8 and 20 2/8 inches, respectfully. The inside spread on the rack measures 20 1/8 inches, according to official B&C scorer Homer Saye of Cypress.

There have been a couple of larger free range bucks reported in Texas in the past, both recorded by B&C long before the inception of TBGA. Those deer, as listed in the B&C record book, include the 284 3/8 inch “Brady Buck” taken in 1892 in McCulloch County by an “unknown hunter” and a 272 inch whitetail that was found dead near Junction in 1925.

“Then, about two weeks before opening day, we quit getting pictures. King moved on us, but I wasn’t sure why. I knew he hadn’t been pressured"

Sounds like jshouse's deer

I got it, this awesome specimen is the new TBGA State Record. The Brady is the mark and I'm not sure why they say "unknown hunter", it was killed by Albert Friedrick.

Loved the read! Thanks for sharing and congrats to that father son team!

[RogueSamurai]

Very nice indeed.

[Quackerbox]

Helluva buck

[EastTx]

What a buck! Congrats to the both of them. The son showed a lot of maturity by not taking a bad shot oppurtunity on a buck like that. I bet this news will make the DCNF a little more crowded this season.

[Shake N' Bake]

Cool story!! Congrats to them for sealing the deal!!

[Arrow Slinger88]

Wow awesome buck!

[nick05]

great story and deer!

The folks on the pasture next door were hunting him hard too. I had the unique opportunity to glass this deer alive last feb for over an hour. There were 9 big bucks in the bachelor group. You should have seen the high horned typical ten......

Congrats on a giant. I have been sworn to secrecy on this one for a while.


I would expect more jaw droppers this year if we ever get pics. Heck I would settle for a few more last years pics off that place..hint hint
