Very nice. Congrats

They only get bigger if they have time to grow.

I hunted Texas a few years back on an 8000 acre low fence ranch. The owner told us if we see the one horned black buck, to kill it. It actually has a weird knob horn on the short side.

thats why I mount them. My room is a 3d photo album. I wish I owned some private or had access to some. I am stuck hunting public like most of us.

I believe I shot my first buck in 92 or 93. It was a spindly white horned 2x3. My first two seasons before that I did not even see a buck. Since that time I have been blessed with 25 total bucks. Most of my first ones were typical forkies with a few decent forks mixed in. Then I put a 3x or...

Those monsters have to be Cuyamaca deer. Your daughter is a badass.

Yeah that poor guy got robbed literally.

I have hunted here for about 35 years. It took me 3 years to get my first deer, I am aware of how hard it is and how many feel the same way you do, but I disagree, A legal buck here on public is an accomplishment, yes but not the same as a trophy animal. I am not knocking guys who shoot forks. I...

Yes I have a 120, 118, 106, and a bunch over 80 that I haven't measured. I also shot plenty of forks when I started out in the early 90s. How big was that 4x4 you shot a while ago. That was big, 130? That is a trophy.

What do you guys consider a D16 trophy deer? I mean based on size/inches. Not sentimental. I am aware that any legal buck is an accomplishment here but that's not what I am talking about. I think 100in is a good start. what do you guys think

we are flying

I am probably going to PA to hunt white tail and my friend want to shoot a red stag on a ranch. What do you guys suggest for getting the meat, antlers, and capes back to San Diego the least expensive way?

so badass!

yes

Just got my buck back from Ed. It's the one on the left. Thanks Ed I am very happy with it! .
