Is this a penned deer?
 
We got this picture of a buck last week from one of our trail cameras. It seems as if the points on the buck have been clipped off near the top, and we heard that a pen roughly 12 miles away lost some of its big bucks in a storm during the summer.



That seems like a long way for a deer to travel, but this buck doesn't seem to be normal.

It isn't now. That makes him fair game.

He won't hurt the gene pool either..:happy0001:

He may not be a bad thing for the gene pool, but do you think he'll survive the winter?

Good point, Wisconsin's winters can be brutal and a pen raised animal probably won't..

12 miles isnt very far at all, especially being he doesnt have an established territory of his own.

kyslayer 11-01-2010 05:42 PM

why do they clip the antlers? to make it safer for the other bucks or something

Just wondering, How ethical would it be to shoot this buck? If he was pen raised?
