Txnrog:

Yep, he needed gone.  What is your B/D ratio and where is the land located?

I don't expect ya to "give up the farm" here.. Just interested.

[Txnrog]

Were at a 1:1 buck:doe ratio, but we've let it slip closer to 1:2 as we've got a number of exotics (they are free roaming all over the area) and as we held the WT population down and had about 2 drought years, they 'filled the gap' so to speak, so we're trying to knock the exotics back and grow the wt population back up a bit.

nice buck! we have one using my dads stand just like that, only he has one half of his rack completely gone. maybe a fight?

Nice job Roger, and I understand where you are coming from with the QDMA. Some guys just take offense when you start saying things like "Inferior" and "Genetics" but I don't....I get it completely. Beauty and Trophy are both in the eye of the beholder and I can be just as happy with a doe, a spike, a fork horn, or a 12pt. brute cause I have taken all sizes, all genders and they were all great memories. I just wish I could seem to do that with my Trad bow...but it will eventually. I just keep plugging away at it, and it'll happen.

Bottom line.....if you want bigger bucks you gotta let the little guys walk and get the trolls outa the herd. I just wish I had the amount of property to control my herd better.

I assume you are in the Hill Country if ya got that many exotics.

If you had a 1:1 you were kickin butt....  Hope ya get it back

[joe ashton]

that is a great way to start your bow hunting memories.
