"3rd Season Buck - As most know it was hot and dry, which in my opinion made for a harder hunt. This was the best buck we seen. Although, we did see some monster bulls, all on public land. We hunted unit 40, 3rd season. It was great camping weather and we visited with a number of other hunters, including some locals. All of which provided us with some good conversation and some great spots to check out. My buck is 29" wide and had a 25" swollen neck."
