Any idea how much that big buck weighed? Thats a big bodied buck to me.
lance,
I hunted in the Hill Country a while back, over near Sonora, Texas. My buddy had a lease, we saw lots of bucks. We were allowed to kill a trophy, cull and 2 does.
Typical trophies are 110 to 130inch bucks, for the money, less than $2k at the time it was a great hunt.
Once you get down in South Texas from most of the places I've looked at you start to pay by the inch, I would rather pay a flat rate and shoot the biggest buck I see on the hunt, from my little expereince the hill country gives you this, probably not going to shoot as big of a buck, but should have a great expereince with your son, to me that is more important. Plus I doubt you want his first buck to be a monster.
Would you be driving? Alabama also has some great places, typically a few hunderd bucks a day, hunt late in the year. Lots of deer, again not giants but good southern deer.
Here are the bucks we killed.

My 10 year old daughter and I would be driving to TX for the hunt. She has taken predators, but this will be her first big game hunt. She is putting in for AZ elk, deer and antelope this year, and is scheduled to take the AZ hunters education class this spring. She is a great shot, so I would have to problems letting her shoot out to 300 yds, maybe further with a little more practice. The range masters at a local shooting range all know her by name, and love to see her shooting out there.
She will be shooting a .250 Ack Imp which has taken deer for my older daughter out past 300yds.
Those bucks are both beautiful, and we would both be happy and proud to get bucks like that. And extra freezer meat is always welcome. My 2012 Oct. deer is almost gone. If you could suggest some ranches to look at, that would be greatly appreciated.
