Any pictures?My son had the yoakum dunes WMA mule deer tag this year. What a fantastic hunt, the biologist aka guide was very informative. The panhandle and the western part of Texas have spectacular mule deer hunting. My sons buck scored 180 gross and he is only 13. We passed on a dozen or so that the guide said were around 150+ but they were only about 3 years old. He was looking for a mature buck and my sons was approx 7 yrs. I don't think many people realize that Texas has some spectacular mule deer hunting both public and private. Most of the Public is draw only, which is really no different than most western states. You shot a great buck...congratulations!
Your son was extremely lucky: first to draw a tag and secondly there areVERY few 180 inch bucks killed on public land. The odds of an adult getting drawn are about 1 in 500 at the least. Youth slightly better. Happy for him!My son had the yoakum dunes WMA mule deer tag this year. What a fantastic hunt, the biologist aka guide was very informative.
