This deer
is the offspring of a doe impregnated by artificial insemination
with semen from an Ohio legend named Redoy Ben. The elder whitetail,
who was only about 2 years old at the time, showed a lot of
potential, Clark said. Redoy Ben died that same year, also to a
respiratory illness.

I wouldn't pay a dime for any deer raised behind a fence. Is this what hunting is becoming? Pay 1 million dollars for a buck that will pass his genes to other penned up deer so that some mighty hunters can pay another small fortune for the right to shoot it and then have something to brag about? Like this guy would even be worthy of being called a hunter? Very sick, to say the least! I have way MORE respect for the guy who shoots a pidling spike buck or a plain old doe in an honest fair chase hunt!

He's got a little 'Ol Mossy Horns going on mixed in with a little 30-30 going on. Both impressive deer to say the least. But not worth 1 Mil. Goliath anybody? Now that's one impressive deer...but still not worth my money. Don't get me wrong...I like to see the potential racks that breeders can grow but nothing, and I mean nothingbeats a 'true' purebred record breaking whitetail that 'bucks' all the odds until the final day of his demise. To me it's all about the mystique and the stories that lead into the record deer that are taken...
For instance, the top 3 NT's of all time are the Missouri Monarch, the Hole in Horn buck, and the lesser known Minnesota Monarch (sheds...which out score the twoaforementioned deer)...the Typicals that come to mind are the Kansas King and the Knife Handle buck (one of which were sheds...can't quite remember which)...there was also a set of Nebraska sheds that could have been acontender..but regardless, no hunter ever took any of these deer. My point is, there is more to the hunt, the experience, and the feeling of taking a record book deerthan there is to the price of a tag. Sorry for the rant!
