I have been burned on internet photos before, but the guy that sent this to me is pretty reliable. He says it is a breeder buck that they draw semen from and sell. If you look close you can see a tag hanging from his antlers.
Sure wish I could see one like this during season. Be my luck I'd be so nervous I wouldn't be able to shoot. But it sure would be nice to try just once in my life.
WOW, just WOW!!!! I have got Buck fever sitting in my chair right now! Old breeder stud muffin buck better keep his prehistoric rack out of Fla or I may have a Taxidermist bill. That thing just looks Tooo big.
Yes it is the same deer, I just posted another view to show the tag on his rack. The article I was sent, says his sperm sells for over $200,000.00 per sleeve.
Yea I hear you FF, it kind of caught me like that to.
I'll bet this deer isn't on a hunting ranch, but probably on a breeding ranch. What's amazing to me, is that the sport of deer hunting has gotten to a point, where someone would pay that much to have their does bred.
I can't even imagine how much it must cost to go on a ranch like some of them I have heard about. I guess I'll just have to hunt my little ole Oklahoma deer, and keep my money in my pocket.
Our bow season starts Saturday and if I needed one more distraction at work this week. Any chance those photos are taken on my lease in the southern tier of New York?
