Why are all the pictures of big breeders taken in velvet? Is it because they look bigger or do they cut the antlers off when they harden?
It is preponderant to prorogue verbalising and let the citizenry surmise that you are doltish, than to disseminate and expunge all skepticism

Oh Yeah!
Just wait till next year when I start selling my genetically altered Mallards. I cross bred some Drakes with Ostriches.
They barely fly and they look like a B25 Mitchell bomber when flying over. It takes a 10 gauge with #OO Buck to bring them down.
And when they hit the ground, you got another pit blind to stand in.
I will post pics later. LOL! Found my new sig...thanks Bill!

Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Also, it is so facility owners can get scores of their breeders before it's breeding time. And for the guy who asked what a deer like this is worth... estimated value of a "world record" breeder buck is around $1.5 million.

Is it just me or did the "semen available" badge make anyone else laugh their butt off. I should make that into a pin you can wear amd challenge my friends to walk around town with it on. I would be too chicken to wear it myself. LOL
Anyway, those deer are ugly. I'd perfer to kill a monster 8 or 10 pointer. Although Free Agent's antler's were massive, he looked to be small bodied to me. That may just be because his rack is so unnaturally big.
