Score another one!
Son-in-law Steve has some meat on the pole- - - - -Bang/Flop, no tracking, about 150 yards behind the house they're building on the farm. One shot with a 150 grain factory round from a Savage 110 .30-06. It's a nice, heavy-bodied 9 point. Luis, if your daughter sees this one, you're going to be in the doghouse for sure!

That's a nice buck in my book, but this libtard 13 inch rule would make that buck illegal in most of Texas now. That buck could have lived to be 7 years old and I bet it wouldn't be much if any wider than it is.
I had to pass on one yesterday morning that I figure was probably 12.5 inches, but could have been 13. It was hard to tell. The way Texas Parks and Wildlife tells us to judge is if the main beams inside are wider than the ears at alert position, which according to them is between fully spread out width wise and straight up (Which I've never see one do). If it's just right at the ears, then it's probably 13 inches and legal.
On the buck I saw yesterday the right ear protruded out past the main beam about 2 inches, but the left ear was about that much inside the antler so I couldn't be certain of its width.
The woman that's on the lease with us said she's seen that buck in the game camera and she said she'll shoot it if she sees it because the rack is offset and not a normal deer. We both agree that this buck too won't get much wider than it is because it appears genetically defected, and that it will have to die of old age if someone doesn't break the law because it has a lot more mass than a normal buck of its size.

Well, we had some similarity going until the second point you made. Here the wardens and and biologist have a lot of common sense about inforcement. But when it comes to all the citizenry being honest and forthcoming it's about 60%-40%. Most people try to go by the law, but about 40% believe it's cool to get by the game wardens.
Also, the only checkin stations you will usually see anymore are on Government land and state hunts.

Fine eating.
Yeah Jerry, Us old guys deserve a good buck too! Ha!Ha!Ha!
I have seen that all of em got a doe, and it appears all of them are happy with that. Nobody wants to go out in the cold rain to get a buck. No body except me anyway. I went out this morning to get Mr. Buck and that scoundrel looked me right in the face and disappeared as fast as he showed up. But I could swear that right before he left the premises I saw him raise his right front hoof and make a well known gesture with a middle Finger (Don't ask me where a deer got a middle finger, but I swear he had one).
