Title: $1 million dollar deer
Post by: Justin Snyder on December 05, 2007, 07:14:43 pm
This is a breeder at a ranch in Texas.  He comes from an artificial insemination program.  I realize he isn't a wild buck so it will never a real trophy to most of us, but thought you might like to see it. His name is stickers and he has a 46-point rack and a Boone and Crockett score of 334. Justin

We have our athletes on steroids, why not our deer.  I agree it really is a shame.  Like I said, not really a trophy anymore is it.  They are doing a food job of breading horns on inferior quality deer.  Several of them have died from respiratory infection.  Maybe they will get a whole heard and one cold storm will kill them all.   >:D Justin

I am so glad to hear you guys sound off like that. The first thing I thought when I saw it was"eww thats fugly." It just doesn't have the same magnificent strength and beauty that a real big daddy of the woods has. Interestingly enough, technology is not only breeding specific qualities in animals but our seed supply is really being eroded with all the genetically modified seed out there. Before you know it we'll all be eating genetically modified hamburgers on buns made out of genetically modified wheat,drinking our aspertame sweetened pop while we dip our genetically modified french fries in our genetically modified tomato catsup and then next thing you know we will be genetically modified.Then you 'll have a bunch of guys walking around with horms on their head like the deer in picture................
Just kidding but I think you get the picture. So how did I get from there to here? Well I guess you could say I took the scenic route.  Danny

We have non-typical mulies with ragged horns in the wild, but they aren't usually quite so bad.  A lot of the really ragged ones are stags so breeding isn't an issue. Justin

If you sawed some of those freakish wads of points off, those horns would make a couple really nice knapping billets.  :)

The blood pools in the drop horns and makes the big round club look you see in this deer.  There was a mule deer killed here a couple of years ago that had 13" drops that were about 4" diameter at the end of the club.  Ill bet you could break some rock with those buggers.  ;D Justin
