Some ranches have horses, cattle, sheep, oil... and then there is this!!!!

So that's where all the bucks are! What a rack!

 

[sesh]

Are they hand fed too?

 

[Okie4570]

Incredible antlers. I wonder how many breeding generations it takes to get the buck you want. It seems that most of these ranches like this produce mainly non-typicals.

Thats too many deer in a small area. Almost cruelty...

 

[Rooster1971]

Geez, my front yard is bigger than the area with all those deer. Hopefully that ain't a place for a disease waiting to
happen. That would be truly sad!

You guys should check out deer and wildlife stories with keith warren. These deer are just like prized horses and they are treated very well. The majority of the monsters are never hunted and die of old age.

I'm glad to hear that most of those places hunting is basically shooting a deer in a cardboard box while sitting in the climate controlled blind.

This guy ought to release like 10/yr into the wild in different areas of his state. Though since they had been raised in a non-threatening environment they would likely die quickly.

Actually he should harvest the "juice" from the real monsters, capture wild doe, artificially inseminate and then release to get some monsters growing in the wild. For the good of the country.

Semen straws can cost in the $500-$3000 range. Think we could talk to OK dept of wildlife and see if they would fund a state wide AI program? Just kidding, it's not about the antlers for me, listing to the timber wake up and go to bed is what it's all about. My daughter will be old enough to release an arrow for herself this October 1. There will be whooping an hollering in Grant Co. even if it only scores 6 B&C. or even better, an ever deserving, over abundant slick head.
