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

Yes, they usually cut them off as soon as the velvet is shed.

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!

Depends on the ranch some do and some don't. Those that do have an agenda for why they do.

Which is usually to keep the bucks from killing each other in the pens.....

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.

Well there are lots of places that don't use much (if any) natural breeding.....and they have pens FULL of bucks with the does being in separate pens.

I visited a place that had 198 bucks in one pen of about 40 acres.

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.
