Some Interesting Texas Deer Hunting History ...

 Location.      Texas

 Antlers          Typical

 B&C Score     185 1/8         


From Field & Stream Record Bucks of History


Henderson Coquat bought the Apache Ranch in Webb County, fifty miles north of the streets of Laredo, Texas, in 1948. During World War II, Army Air Corps pilots had cratered the property with practice bombs and .50 caliber machine gun fire, and Coquat was not optimistic that many deer could be left on the ranch. But on December 28, 1949, he ran into a phenomenal 27-inch-wide 13-pointer on the Apache. When officially measured in 1953, the antlers scored 185 1/8 Boone and Crockett points, making it at the time not only the first Texas buck to crack the Boone and Crockett top ten of all time record book typical whitetail deer, but the world's record of the day.

Hey there hunt friends, sitka deer hunting in Alaska is a great opportunity that far too few out-of-state
hunters take advantage of, here in this website http://www.gssafaris.com/hunting/sitka-blacktail-deer-hunting/
you can see beautiful deer trophies, and when you hunt with this outfitter, you hunt the coastline by yacht,
giving you access to your hunting grounds under nearly any and all circumstances—and, of course, a very comfortable
“camp!
