Deep forks and fronts. Not super Sonora wide, but I bet he's 190 class. I'd hook him! Will J. Parks, III | |||

Nice buck Brad!!! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Ya, I thought so too. Actually, I thought he would be close to 185 and his trash might get him to 190. Then I shot him, walked up to him and I bet he didn't weigh 165 lbs, those deer are small anyways, but this was by far the smallest deer I have ever shot there. Everything about him was 2/3rds scale, teeth were worn down to his gums, some were gone completely, an incredibly old deer. All of the deer I have shot in Sonora in the past had ears in the 23"-24" range, this guy was around 21". Finally put the tape on him when I got back to Houston and he grossed 180-4/8", a beautiful rack, but not what I thought he was. None the less, I love hunting Mexico, this is my 5th year and my 4th buck. Great people, beautiful country, it is the closest I think I can come to mule deer hunting like the stories my grandpa told me. | |||

Beautiful buck... well done. 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! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Looks good buddy! Wish you were still down here, I have a 190"+ typical and a 200"+ 7x7 found, a tag available and nobody to hunt. My tag is for a different ranch | |||

You are killing me Drummond, you'd shake a bag of crack in front of a crackhead wouldn't you? | |||
|
| One of Us |
If that bag of crack would help that crackhead kill a big mule deer then yes, I would absolutely shake a bag of crack in front of a crackhead | |||

If it wasn't for the fact that I have negative days in the Vacation / Wife bank... I would be there now Drummond | |||

Hot damn! Any pics?

A great buck, I sure wouldn't apologize for taking him. Congratulations. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||
