Ok I’m scheduled in to have a crack on Saturday evening/sunday! Told em no care about a trophy just a deer to get my first run on the board.

Excited and nervous. Using a 30-06 so that’s pretty classic.

Lot of good deer near Bartlesville. That’s where I got my start many years ago. Good luck!

This is a coastal south Texas buck. Chocolate is a trait down here. These deer don’t grow very big. This 5 year old was “big” bodied and dressed out 136 pounds gutted”

Live oak trees and powder sand on the coast is their habitat

Taken on the ranch that has a trim model with ford motor company

dchum, we have very similar habitat here in coastal SC, live oaks and sand. The deer along the coast are definitely smaller bodied than just 45-60 minutes inland. The deer that live on the barrier islands are even smaller body wise.

Very cool to see chocolate somewhere besides Saskatchewan!
