Guest BCBOY Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Saw this on another site and haven't seen mention of it here yet. Definately one freakin' small whitey eh? The story: "Scores 266. 37 points. This buck was shot last week at Camp Bullis which is one of the training areas connected to Fort Sam Houston. Texas Parks and Wildlife indicates that this appears to be the second largest deer (point wise) in the state of Texas. It is the largest in the last 100 years. Everybody and their dog is out at Bullis looking at this buck. Three taxidermy have offered to mount it for free. We have had game specialists stop to see the buck. They say this could be the second largest score in Texas and maybe the largest in the last 100 years. The head when mounted could be worth about $25K from what we are told. It scored 265 points in Boone & Crockett. The buck was seen by helicopter in the area of gun stand #77.The pilot radioed to operations and reported that a severely wounded buck (was dragging his hind section) was observed and gave the coordinates. Operations was notified and responded with a small search team. They found the buck and verified it was severely injured (appeared to have a broken back). The search team destroyed the animal. It weighed 118 lbs, had a 21 3/4 inside spread, and had 40 measurable points" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail Front page artical ..Realtree.com http://www.realtree.com/community/feature-detail.tpl?ID=215 HELP US WITH THE MYSTERY BUCK Never know what you're getting on the Internet these days, but we had to share this photo of a really sick looking specimen. All we know about the monster is that was sent to one of our staffers via email. With a note that read something like this: Here's a buck of lifetime. It was seen by helicopter in the area of gun stand #77. The 'copter pilot radioed to operations reporting that a severely wounded buck dragging his hind section was located. The pilot noted the buck's coordinates and operations - headed by some fellow named Andy - assembled a small search team. The buck was found by the team and indeed looked as though it was suffering from a broken back. The team took the animal out of its misery. Allegedly, the buck weighed in at 118 pounds, sported a 21 ¾-inch spread and had a rack with 40 measurable points. Please help Team Realtree get to the bottom of this mystery.

jerdanmagic Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail The pics don't seem to show any kind of wound on the neck. I would think that if the guy slit the deer's neck, there would be blood or at least an opening on the buck in the pics. I'm still confused!!! We need more info!

elkoholic Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail Small body, big racked buck, but I wonder about him scoring 266 though. The body isn't much bigger than my daughter's black lab and those antlers would look big on them for sure. Nice rack anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest huntinsanobsession Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail don't know how they killed it if they did don't see any wounds but it doesn't mater that is a huge rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail WOW. I put some time at Camp Bullis while in the Air Force. We had seen some really big bucks there. He is a monster, and I hope he passed his genes around ! too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail Impressive antlers whatever the story. Hope a legit story comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Re: 265 Inch Texas Whitetail I don't think there is any way that that buck could score anywhere close to 265...just my opinion, If this deer weighed so little, that rack just may look big, you can do an awful lot to make a rack look huge: This buck: Big Eight Looks great in the photo but I have the score, and I think a picture can do an awful lot. By the way, what do you guys think this buck scores? I'll let you know tomorrow! Take a guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
