RE: So are they ??
I have to question how some of the big name celebrity landowners are able to hunt for, and harvest so many exceptional bucks with regularity each and every season on their property. There are several of the celebrity hunting couples these days thatseem to invite quite a few celebrity guests to their farms each year andbetween them and theirnumerous guests hunting both bow and gun seasonharvest an abnormally large number of trophy deer, often seeimg to be more than the land would probably be able to hold even with QDM in place. I've heard speculation that some outfitters and landowners supplement their herd each season to increase the trophy potentialwith deer (primarily big bucks)purchased from private breaders. This practice is nothing new as hunting ranches have been known to bring in deer to increase genetic potential for years now. Not sure whether this is actually happening or not, but would be a likely explanation of how any one group of farms could hold so many exceptional deer each and every season, year after year.
