OkieKubota,
You have a great hunting plan that is producing great bucks consistently.
What do the top end bucks gross score on your farm? You have excellent age structure on your place.
Am I correct to assume the photos shown came from your home place?
Appreciate you sharing the photos.

Not much on scoring deer (I know how)...I look for age above all else but this falls buck fell in the mid 150’s and was an 8 pointer...
Top deer so far about 165... largest on camera perhaps 170...
All but 2017 and 2015 came from this dirt where our house is. Other 3 bucks came from deer lease a few miles south.
Killed several others in that span but I only posted the ones killed from feeder stands...

Your bucks are somethin’ else. You really seem to have them figured out. Write a book!

Well, that's two.Now add in the ones killed in Texas and you'll have a couple pages full. But if you would hunt over around Welch or between Centralia and Pyramid Corners, you could kill some really good ones.
Two What?
Hunted 3 years up near Welch on my cousins 650 acre ranch back in the 90’s...never really saw anything that tripped my trigger...Well, that's two.
What Texas deer? All my deer are Cherokee county deer...

Okie, I believe to give a guy his due. Luck is the new hunter that shoots the biggest ever on a property on his first day out. However when it happens over and over and over and over again with you and yours,seriously you and your hunting partner wife should write THE book on deer hunting and wildlife and habitat management.
He’s dissing me because I have examples (many) that contradict (all) his epiphanies... and Chipdasqrrl and Chainsaw want me to write a book
May just do it...The thing is to kill the maturest bucks in your area irregardless if it happens to be 3 or 7+ years of age even with a less than 8 point rack or less than 16” spread and I have killed my share...every deer I take off our 90 is always 5+...

Thanks for explaining Johnny. I counted at least 8 big deer you killed from feeders, and he counted two. I didn't think my math was that bad.
He seems pretty smart about deer hunting except for one thing - he is wrong about nearly everything.

Give yourself some credit. You hunt hard and you understand deer and their movements. Just think how big they would be if it wasn't so brushy there and they had ag to feed on. Even if your wife can out hunt you, you are still one of my heroes.
Now everyone hold tight, weather is nasty but I'm gonna have to run out for more popcorn.
I remember the day my wife shot the 13 pointer...I put her in the stand before daylight and I told her which deer she was after. I heard her shoot so I got down from my stand and walked over to find her on the ground looking around pretty distressed...seems she got down and then wasn’t sure where the buck was when she shot and then when she couldn’t find blood she got distressed. She couldn’t find the deer stand to get her bearings... I put her in the stand and she pointed and I walked over to find a blood trail Ray Charles could follow
If it wasn’t so wooded we might even find a decently wide racked one...lol

Somebody forgot to tell the big deer on my place that they can't be killed from a tower blind in South Central KY. I happen to live in South Central KY, and all the deer below deer came from there out of a tower blind. I built it in 2013.
This first deer was the winner in a big contest that is held in my area. I won $1,000 with this one for coming in first place. I might mention that I'm in the worst area for deer hunting in a 20 mile circle. The strategically located blind on ground I worked my rear end off to develop is what made this possible (along with the Lord's blessing of course).
This deer came in second in the contest last year. I won a new rifle with this one.
This is my son's 8 point from last year. Taxidermist aged at 5.5.
This deer isn't a big scoring deer, but a state biologist aged him at likely 7.5 and no less than 6.5. Tower blind at 2:00 PM in the afternoon.
This was my son's 12 point from a couple of years back. I have trail cam history to show him minimum 5.5 and possibly 6.5.
This is a deer I passed from the tower blind on gun opener of 2018. An easy shot at about 100 yards in the late morning.
This is a deer I passed from the tower blind location because I was after the first one above.
The deer on the left is one we passed in 2016. Would have been an easy shot. We should have shot him. He got run over by a car. The second pic below was taken at the time we passed him. Look at the frost on his back. We could see that from the blind.
This deer is now 8.5 years old. He doesn't live on my place but visits occasionally. We haven't been lucky enough to see him while hunting. But this picture and other pictures were taken in plain view of the tower blind about 100 yards away.
This deer was all over the place in broad daylight and we could have shot him from the tower multiple times.
There are some more that I lost the photo's for due to the Photobucket incident. However, I think the point has been made.
All of this since 2013 in the poorest area of the county for deer hunting and all from a tower blind. And this isn't Texas - It is South Central KY - the exact area that the OP alluded to in first post in this thread.
Peace brothers!

Thanks Johnny! I was going to stay out of this until the "That's Two" comment popped up. Couldn't help myself after that.
