This buck started sneaking into our chicken coop last year as a dink 8 pt yearling. He still likes to eat layer pellets so much he goes into the coop to snack. Worrys the crap outta me that he's gonna spook and hurt himself but so far he just calmly walks out when busted. He's a 10 point main frame with matching inside mainbeam kickers ~150" so I really want him to grow up.

Is this near Mountain Home (per your bio)? If so, that's a monster.

Note to self.....build chicken coop!

A. Dang nice buck. B. Your chicken coop looks like a gorilla enclosure. Very impressive.

A. Dang nice buck. B. Your chicken coop looks like a gorilla enclosure. Very impressive. It was a dog kennel that I bought to house my chickens in after dark. It has to be tough to keep the predators out. My German Shepard has decided she will allow coons, foxes, and bobcats in the yard if they take a chicken when they leave.

Started doing that last year when he was a dink. Out of the 30 or so deer that hang out by the house he's the only one that likes chicken pellets. And he can't give them up!

He was a dink last year, and now he's a 10 point main frame with matching inside mainbeam kickers 150"... would that be the Purina Layena 16%-protein high-calcium ration fortified with Omega-3 rich flaxseed oil? Inquiring minds want to know!

LOL, we had a few hand tame deer when we had the farm, had red collars on them so folks wouldn't bust'm, they would kick down a door for 28% floating fish food

Inquiring minds want to know! Ha! Well... I could lie and say it was double down protein... But it was just the cheap ol Dumor pellets.

Hard to sneak up on him but I got him as he was leaving.

I Feed Indian Corn. The deer love it and all the colors make them stay at the feeder longer.
