    Got this in an e-mail from a co-worker so I thought I would share it here, not sure if this is legit or not.

    Quote:


    You are not going to believe these pictures shot N of San Antonio at

    camp Bullis. This was shot at Camp Bullis which is one of the training

    areas connected to Fort Sam Houston.

    Told by Texas Parks and Wildlife that this appears to be the second

    largest deer (point wise) in the state of Texas. It is the largest in

    the last 100 years. Everybody and there dog is out at Bullis looking at

    this buck. Three taxidermy have asked to mount this for free. This

    should be in the papers soon.

    We have had specialist stop to see the buck. One will measure again

    today. They say this could be the second largest score in Texas and

    maybe the largest in the last 100 years.

    The buck was seen by helicopter in the area of gun stand #77. The pilot

    radioed to operations and reported that a severely wounded buck (was

    dragging his hind section) was observed and gave the coordinates.

    Operations was notified and

    they responded with a small search team. They found the buck and

    verified it was severely injured (appeared to have a broken back).

    The search team destroyed the animal. It weighed 118 lbs; had a 21 3/4

    inside spread and, had 40 measurable points.

    If the date on that picture is 7/11/04, the deer in this neck of the woods still have velvet and aren’t quite done growing yet. I always new they did things a little different in texas, but I would think the deer would grow the same way.

    In an article that was in Field and Stream last year, they featured a 50 pointer. Those are truly some monsters.
