11 Point Texas Buck Mount – Finally Home in New Hampshire

Posted on by

Finally Home! This is perhaps my once in a lifetime 4 1/2 year old mature Texas whitetail buck.

I took him at 80 yards with a T/C Encore Muzzleloader and 150 grains of Pyrodex and 295 grain Power Belts from last October. He never got to take a step and dropped right where he stood.

He is hung in my dining room for now, so I can see him every day. Here in New Hampshire I have never seen the likes in all my years in the deer woods with a rifle in my hand. Yes they exist here in New Hampshire and can be huge in body but often are nocturnal only. 

He scored just over 144 Boone and Crockett Points.

Safari Studios of San Angelo Texas did the taxidermy. I chose a Mackenzie form I believe that had him in the rut with a larger fatter neck but I can’t see it here. In person you can see the neck swell better.  What a big bruiser in real life!!
