South Texas 2014
I made my now annual excursion down to LaSalle county to hunt the El Mino Ranch with good friend and ranch owner, M16. I always look forward to hunting with Larry and his partner on their property because it is less of a guided whitetail hunt and has more of the feel of an "amigos in deer camp" Pechanga!

The bucks were starting to get very interested in the ladies and we ran across several bucks locked down on does and countless others cruising. We were hunting two specific deer and I got lucky and connected on one of the bucks the last evening of the hunt. Never saw the other buck on the hit list... I guess love is a blessing as well as a curse.

In between I took a nice old management buck and a couple of varmints as well as some nice photos of some exceptional deer.

Thanks again Larry!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Great bucks.
I have been invited to hunt a friends ranch in Edwards County (South TX)and none of the bucks taken there are even close to what you pictured. I got the biggest taken in the past 5 years and it had a 13 inch spread and 4-1/2 years old. No complaints, just commenting on the differences a few miles can have.
