A year in the life of a farm

Just for giggles I think his net B&C typical score is 190.4/8. Thats using my rough score differences. Once rack is off his head I will get very precise. Not that it makes any difference as I don't really care about net scores.

Amazing buck! Nets are for fish anyway

That's an incredible buck Rusty! Great job. Your herd management skills and everything about your place is just awesome and so interesting. Thank You for continuing to share your trails and tributes and taking us along on your adventure.

Still blown away by this beast. I really want to see pics of the cat in the cage now!
Been wanting to do a trap like that for quite a while

Now that you got rolling stone, which buck does your neighbor have his eye on? The big 10?

I am reminded when the other week, I was watching "The bucks of Tecomate" and the host was visiting the Mississippi delta, and was thinking, if he could use Tecomate seed on Mississippi dirt, ohh the possibilities. I'm paraphrasing, but El Gato's place came to mine.

That's what's possible. 365 days of high quality nutrition and a good age structure has produced monsters. Truly spectacular!

Congrats on getting your target buck, it super tough for me to get "A" buck, so I am impressed you got "the" buck you were after.

Didn't he catch one in Louisiana too?

[BillyloMexico]

No we killed one last year and saw several more in Mexico. They set this cool new trap out and caught this one!

Here's the final tale of the tape. With rack off skull and tight tape:
201 2/8"gross
191 5/8" net
That on a 17 7/8" inside spread
Pretty rare!
