On Veterans' Day weekend I took a very nice buck off our place on the edge of the Hill country, and a few days later my son followed up with a truly exceptional eight-point. This deer scores high 140's, and like my ten-point, this is a really fine deer for our area (and outside a high fence). We had this buck on the trail camera, but he was always long gone before first light. We had a bunch of new rubs and scraps, and I thought there was a chance he might show. We also had several days of cold rainy weather imminent. Sure enough, this big fellow was wandering around with nose to the ground just after first light. His Steyr '06 was decisive. His best deer to date.
