Texas Management Buck - 4X3

Was looking for a couple of does, but took a management buck and a doe, a good amount of meat. What a great weekend!
Texas - Buck and doe

And a special thanks to NECCHI who was very instrumental in getting me past a broken lock to a successful hunt!

Nice buck ,where were you hunting in Texas? I go to Uvalde county . Tom :thumbsup:

Not far from you then. The K7 is on SH 83 about halfway between Junction and Menard.

Great...and you're not too far to invite me over for Christmas venison lunch! :wink: :rotf:

You hereby invited. When I get our holiday schedule from the planning department (wife and daughter) I'll let you know. I was considering a pot roast with onions, carrots, mushrooms, squash and white kidneys, maybe a few garbanzos just for luck. A salad on the side with hot apple pie and blue bell.

Better make a few venison tamales just 'cause! :wink:

Nice buck..got any more details?

Well done Griz, congratulations :applause: Keep yer powder dry........robin

Very nice, Griz! Our place is just to the south east of you in Gillespie County.

In this area I like to go to the Chaparral WMA southwest of Cotulla, below San Antonio. I don't know what's in their water, but those bucks grow some crazy pokers on top of their noggins. :wink:

I don't do a lot of stuff some do. I haul them to camp, skin and field dress. Let em hang of the weather is cool enough for a day or two, cut the spine at the hip and pack 2 pieces take haul home. At home they go on the 8' table and get cut down, cubed, roasts, steaks, shanks, etc... This year I cut some tomahawks (see Scott Rhea UTUBE for how to). The trim goes to grind for burger, sausage and stew, the rest is vacuum packed in 1-2# lots for consumption later in the year. I don't weigh and just take a picture or two for me and close friends that also hunt. This has been the routine since I was 8 or 9 years old, and that was a few years back.

LOL, that usually comes later in the summer when I get bored with steak, stew and chili!
