I'm sorry, but the thing in those pictures is no longer a whitetail. I don't mind a droptine, or a couple of "kickers and stickers", but those are just trashy, ridiculous looking antlers. Personally, I'd want that kind of garbage culled.[:'(]

Maybe someone should give Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" a call to see if he'd like to try collecting a few "straws".

I'm not for sure, but I think this is illegal. I know for sure it is illegal in West Virginia. I would think this is something that the DNR would have to approve.

x2. IMO, fences make any buck less valuable.

I dont think that the size of his antlers is all genetics though. I am pretty sure if he was in the wild for a couple years his antlers would defnitely shrink in size. Any deer can grow big if its fed a high protein diet its whole life. So breeding bucks...doesnt really make sense to me. Who knows...he could be worth a million. I read an article in a magazine where a nice set of whitetail antlers can sell for up to 150,000 on the black market, so it could be possible.But what do I know?

Genetics, nutrition and age is all you need fora nice buck.

I had a friend that owned hoof n horns breeding in Zephr Texas for years and had been doing it a long time before he sold it last year. He purchase a buck called Dreambuck a few years ago that made the front page of the Dallas paper, I think he nearly paid a million for it, but everyone is right you have to have the genetics, and the right nutrition to get the kind of antler size he produced. It was impressive to see the operation in Zephr, but this kind of hunt wasnt for me.

That is an impressive deer, but I don't think hunting livestock would be to fun, but thats just me.

I prefer/look for a harvest of nice non typical,but this guy is trashy lookin IMO[:'(]

I'd rather take a nice typical rack then that pile of mutantjunk sticking out of this buck's head.

Next will be chicken hunts!
