Check out this monster.
This is a pen raised 3 1/2 year old deer that a North Carolina State Trooper is raising across the road of a retreat center I was at this weekend. The picture does him no justice. I don't have any desire to shoot a pen raised deer but this sure got the heart pumping. Don't know what I would do if I saw on like this in the wild. We counted a total of 13 points and I estimate a 19 inch spread.

do you keep dogs? cats? horses? cows or pigs? fish? sea monkeys? no difference really. I dont appreciate penned hunting, but at the same time I do eat beef and pork occasionally.

The state trooper that owes him doesn't let people shoot them. He has about 10 does and this one buck and they are really just pets. I was just amazed at what good nutrition will do for a deer. They where in a small 1/2 acre pen but you could tell they did little grazing. There was a supplement feeder they hung around a lot and was they're main source of food.

Nothing wrong with having penned deer. The only thing I don't like is when people sell those deer because most of the time, they are tame and then a hunter shoots it and they act like they are a good hunter. When you do it the right way, that means you are a good hunter. I'm glad to hear that the guy isn't going to sell him, but alot of people will who raise deer. To people that buy those bucks and shoot them, you aren't even a deer hunter. You are a poacher. Justpoaching deerin a legal way

Looks nice but why is he keeping it in a pen? Does he plan to get him big enough to mount?

in my opinion i think that is very sad. i dont think people should be allowed to do that, the deer should be able to roam around in the wild.
