My hunt was $3000 (for a management deer - scored 148, dressed 155) and my daughter's was $2000 for a "cull" hunt. Yep, that 7 pt is a cull because he's 6 1/2 years old and he's only a 7 point. He dressed at 165. My daughter also shot a doe and a pig. I shot a pig as well. I tipped a total of 15% on top of all that.
All in all - two bucks that dressed out at a combined 320 lbs, a doe, and two pigs. This included 3 nights lodging and more food than you could really eat.
Not all culls are that nice but the sweet thing about that ranch is that nothing under 5 1/2 years old gets shot so you see some pretty good sized deer. On public land or a generic lease in Texas you'll rarely see anything over 3 1/2. You will but it's rare. Antler restrictions help some I think.

Very cool. Do you have a link I can go to cause I might look into that for either my wife and me or myself and my dad.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

[QUOTE=BLK2012GT;48747]Here's us one of the bucks I killed last year.
Good looking deer - I like the one with the messed up rack. Gives character! Is the left main beam broken? I can't tell for sure. Wonder if he messed it up in the velvet? This year at the DCR, I'm not looking for score really - I want one that's just old and wide with short tines. Think they look cool. Of course, I can't be that choosy - just hope I get lucky and see what I want.
We had a guy on our lease in 2010 shoot a buck and a doe with one bullet! Passed right through the buck. Two deer in 30 minutes will make your day for sure.

The beam isn't broken. Yeah he for sure has a weird rack on that side. The rut was on when I shot those two cause I had the 8 pointer laying by the feeder waiting on my buddies to pick me up and that 10 pointer came within 10 feet of the dead one. But I also had tink 69 hanging right by the feeder.
