My answer to all those "meat hunters" who claim you cant eat the horns is.....You cant hang the meat on the wall !

guess you better give up on most food products you buy at the grocery store as well...just because someone else grows them, don't mean you have to shoot them

why would you lose respect for the deer? are they any less of a deer because they were selectively bred for? just like dogs, hogs, horses, cattle, most modern crops, etc...

Just looks like they are shedding their red summer coat and getting their grey winter coats to me.

You make my point exactly.. just like chicken, feed hogs, cattle, horses etc.. go out and make a hunting show about hunting one of those and see where it gets you. They used to be deer that makes them livestock.

Im am all for suplemental feed food plots and selective harvest, not against hi fences, but no ear tags for me.

I went and ran fences this weekend with my dad and got a glimpse of a 4 yr old. Tried to get a pic but wasn't fast enough. He was enormous.

I wouldn't shoot one with an ear tag in it but I would certainly release them on my ranch if I did not like the genetics there. How would shooting one of these deers sons or daughters be considered shooting livestock, assuming they were not shot in the breeder pen?

I just don't get why people hate on the pen deer when a lot of valuable information that can be applied in the field has come from raising deer in a controlled environment.

Other deer will pull hair off the others occasionally for added nutrition in a vitamin they lack. It's commonly seen late in the year.But those are just shedding summer coats.

If he is 2, what is he going to look like when he is over 5? Amazing what a good diet and genetics can produce...
