31-Point Double Drop Tine Texas Buck is Kaufman County Game Warden's First With a Bow
31-Point Double Drop Tine Texas Buck is Kaufman County Game Warden's First With a Bow
“I realize this is as good as it gets. This will be the biggest deer I’ll see in my lifetime, and I’m enjoying it.”
Additional Info
Editor's Note: We'd like to thank Martin Oviedo, a game warden with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in Dallas County who partnered with Minter on the opening day of the Texas firearms deer season, for taking the photos of Minter in the field (slides 8-14 and 16-18).

Well like I have said before "Its like the whole world came together at one moment, and you happened to be sitting there." Congratulations on a true Monarch that is well deserved...the memories will last a lifetime....Chris
Great Lookin' Buck ... Don't Mess With Texas!
What a monster and it sounds like there isn't a better guy that could have taken him.
Wow nice BUCK!!
That is some buck! I can't even imagine shooting something like that with a firearm the first time let alone a bow!
Wow, first bow buck? Awesome.
Now that is a specimen worthy of mounting.
I'm happy for him for taking that buck.
Howeve, we should be holding TX to a higher standard as it is a known fact inside the deer farming industry that TX releases genetically superior farmed deer to the wild to help their state bring in hunters.
It's good to see someone who works to keep hunting a great tradition and fair get a deer as nice as that one.Thanks for the story.
sweet buck
I have never seen a rack like that before. good kill
Great Job! It makes me want to get my bow back out and get ready for next year and to think that rifle season is only half over! I like what you said about knowbody believing you, been there done that. Missed shots done count and only make for tall tales, you got it done and its in the book no less. It is a deer of a lifetime for sure ...
great buck! congrats
nice buck way not to give up on your bow
High five the hunter that bow hunted that 31 point buck.thumbs down if poached behind a high fence gametrap.
Fine looking specimen and a remarkable rack! I'd say that's worth 8 years of bowhunting.
Congragulations to Game Warden Minter on that 31 pointer. Does anyone know whether it was a fair chase hunt or a CANNED hunt?
That buck looks like it's been hand fed.It has a bigger smile that the warden,what say you?
I meant to say than the warden.
Well highfencehuntin' I simply ask that question because if the game is trapped behind high fence, that's not a fair chase. It's not like they paid the people of Texas to cage and have as their own. If that is the case, then they should in fact purchase their own game and then HIGH FENCE THEM.
In Texas this high fence plunderers are trapping game animals and nongame animals at an alarming rate,not even turtles can escape this traps. We are being denied the resources that the State of Texas says belong to the people of Texas. We the people donot recall giving away our resources to this greed. If a game animal cannot escape a fence because of it's height or mesh size,it is trapped and it is unlawful to shoot a trapped game animal,according to The State of Texas.
I have driven by a ranch that is high fenced and so happen to see a deer whom is terrified and trys to jump the fence, but there is no escape. That poor animal hits the fence time and time again till he bleeds. His antlers get stuck for several seconds till he manages to get away. That is really devasting, why should this amimals suffer because of the ignorance of High Fence GREED. That is only one animal that I saw, can you imagine the ones I don't see?
We should write to our Congressman and post our concerns about High Fencing in the State Of Texas. High Fencing should be illegal, a fence should be no higher than 48 inches so as to let the wild life roam free.
High fence shooting of domestic game animals is poaching at the highest level.Only the disable and little girls should be allowed to shoot this semi tame animals, oh and gut shooters,for obvious reasons.The wounded (gut shot)animal has no escape if it is not at one of the fence it is on the other,no escape.
If it is not found at one end of the fence it is on the other,no escape.
Well done!
Nice deer congratulations on the big buck!!!!! hope u get many more to come
if that was in shotgun range for me i wouldnt stop shooting
Game wardens know where all the deer are! even at night. Its like cheating
