While Corley’s buck is sure to rank among the top archery bucks from the Pineywoods this season, hunters from other regions of the state have reported some whoppers, as well.
One of the best free ranging bucks reported from North Texas belongs to Nathan Martin. According to the Texas Buck Registry Facebook page, Martin’s Cooke County whitetail grew a magnificent set of antlers that gross 207 Boone and Crockett inches. Martin’s post indicates the 23-point buck was only 4 1/2 years old. Cooke County is located just west of Sherman along the Red River.
Three other outstanding free ranging bucks were reported in October from the Post Oak region in Collin, Grayson and Kaufman counties, according to the TBR page. The Collin County whitetail was taken by archer Tanner Smith. The 15 pointer scores 183 2/8 and was 5 1/2 years old. Jamie Legg arrowed the Grayson County buck, a 13 pointer. The 5 1/2-year-old buck grosses 164 3/8.
