I love the name of the town Hondo. Almost as much as I like Wink, Texas.

Anyway, this monster with a gnarly rack was taken near Hondo, Texas

Frozen Antler Locked Minnesota Bucks

Joe Beitler — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 12:55:59 +0000

They were found on November 16 near Henning , MN

Here’s the story… the guy that found them had left his stand Sunday morning and was walking back to the shack when he noticed a tine sticking out of the swamp grass just off the side of a four wheeler trail. He walked over to check it out and found the two bucks frozen in the swamp ice with only about one foot of each deer’s side and about 10 inches of the tines above the ice. After getting help from some hunting partners, they managed to chop the deer out of the ice and get them loaded onto a flatbed trailer. The deer were then brought back to the shack and the word started to spread. The “smaller” of the two was a massive 8 pointer that green scored an estimated 150+ inches and the “larger” monster was a true swamp buck with what was thought to be 18 scorable points and a green score of 190+ inches. From what has been heard since these photos were taken, the two bucks are gaining statewide attention and the larger buck actually has 23 scorable points. It is thought that the bucks had been dead for 2 weeks before being discovered. Because of this, the capes had begun to deteriorate and were not capable of producing a mountable cape. However, new capes have been supplied and the bucks are in the process of being mounted locked together in battle. The twine on the antlers was to prevent the bucks from coming unlocked when the heads were removed. Also, check out the cup on the tip of the main beam on the big guy! Hope you enjoy the pictures. A truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

Monster Whitetail – Sudden Impact – Pen raised “trophy”?

Joe Beitler — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:20:23 +0000

You can search the web for alittle more info on this beast. He’s apparently pen raised and as of this video only about 2 years old. I’d like to see some recent photos.

Here’s a link that has a little more about him.

Yikes! Looks like the poor guy didn’t make it. farmingforwildlife.com

From a chap that manages approximately 100,000 acres of lease properties for high net worth individuals who have camps and facilities at KR. A year old but still impressive

Buck Fight Interrupted by as Bullet

Here’s a cool video of a couple of bucks locked up and fighting for mating rites. The hunter steps in to help them out and makes an incredible shot.

Monster Buck That Eluded Hunters Till He Died

Joe Beitler — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:25:19 +0000

Seems like this should be the norm. With the sometimes extreme hunting pressures in the US it seems odd that this monster whitetail buck would be spotted and photographed only to go on to live out a natural life.

Looks like a gamecam photo, to me.

Nice rack for a monster whitetail buck

Beautiful rack

Pause for the cause

Joe Beitler — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:45:21 +0000

Just another example of someone that has his priorities in line.

I'm sure he'll button up after the shot...

The question I have is who took the picture? Why was he/she standing that close at that angle??? food or thought, no doubt.

Monster Buck Seen in San Antonio, Texas

Joe Beitler — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 18:52:35 +0000

I love whitetail deer. They are beautiful animals. Their tale of survival and adaptation as a species is fascinating. They inhabit nearly every county in the US. They’ve adapted to humans and the changes humans have made to the environment and landscape.

Here’s a picture that I received recently of a magnificent Whitetail Buck snapped near Interstate 10 and Callahan road in San Antonio, Texas.
