Buck's death raises flap.Texas game wardens probe knifing of animal with gargantuan antlers at Camp Bullis, Texas. Opening weekend deer hunting in south Texas resulted with a white-tailed deer, no one in Texas has seen in nearly 80 years. "Bullis Buck" carried antlers with 35 scorable points and an outside spread of more than 27 inches and ranks as the third largest taken from a native whitetail in Texas. The problem is the means in which this buck was taken and possible prosecution of the people involved. The question is who winds up with the record-setting rack, which could have a value to collectors in excess of $20,000.
Well post it already. We want to see it too.
In Alabama we have ferral hogs mostly Russian Black boar. They can be pretty testy and big. I got a 350 pounder a few years ago at 150 yards in the swampy bog from a tree stand. I had to shoot left handed but I practice left and right with all my guns. One shot in below the ear with my 270. I have dropped some closer that got back up and had to shoot them again. I aint about to go after one with a spear. No closed season and no limit on them.
LOL.
I'm in Oklahoma on the Red River,the hogs are thick and terribly destructive.It's common to see 20 - 30 in a bunch.Even our Biologists and Wardens will tell you that if you can't pack 'em out to just kill 'em and leave 'em,they're such a problem.
It's a good way to bring in the good ones and a lot of fun at the same time. :)
Was the Griz named TehRayZeh?
yeah, for deer I usually just run 'em down and bite out their throats.
It supposed to be true--but I'm with you, I've never seen one. One of the problems would be in melding the steel and the brass together so they'd stay together.
But you'll notice most of them have brass hilt guards. The reason for the softer metal was to "catch" the blade of the opponent
Davy Crockett grinned bears to death.
LOL!!!! me too!
I tried that and got my arse kicked! ; )
I suppose they could braize (is that the word?) the brass onto the steel.
