Look at it this way, If it WAS a new World Record Archery deer, It would be posted EVERYWHERE on the net. I can find it nowhere. Even if it IS real, It was taken under high fence, so it cant be scored by Pope and Young thus cant qualify as a TRUE world record.

I would have to see many more pictures of this deer, at different places, re; taxidermy shop, being scored, etc, etc.

Sorry, I agree with Eddie above, there is nothing to be proud of here, just a science experiment. Not for me or any real ethical hunter. Just my opinions


This isnt my deal either. Im a 100% low fence guy but there is nothing phony about this. FYI, there are other record books besides P&Y or B&C. He never mentioned either of those in his claim of WR. Im sure it is a WR under some scoring system.

It's really sad how negative people are, Everyone is entitled to there own opinion but as hunters we need to stick together. Divided we fall!!! I made no profit on this deer and made a friends dream come true. I appreciate everyone that was positive. This was a great memory for me and a huge stepping stone for all of the work that has been put into the ranch.

Looks like all the work payed off that deer is ridiculous, I'm more of a typical fan myself but that deer is certainly a giant.

It's just harvesting livestock at this point. Even worse is seeing the needle marks in their necks from the steroid injections they get to grow as big as possible. I sure wouldn't eat that meat, you just never know what was done to the animal to get it to grow out like that.

When I was in New Zealand, a very well known outfitter called the guy I was hunting with and asked if he had anybody that wanted to shoot the new world record Red Stag. He was in a 3 acre pen and the first $300,000 is all it would take to kill him. Of course, the world record seems to change every year, sometimes a couple times in a year, and nobody cares anymore because it's all manipulated with diet and drugs.


Eddie,

Can you please share with me what type of steroids are used to maximize growth? Also I have darted a lot of deer and have never seen a mark from the dart. Im curious about this one.



Steroids might be the wrong word since I don't actually know what is injected in to the necks of the big non typicals that I've seen at the taxidermist. He has shown me the tract marks on their capes where they have been injected over and over again. It shows up really good after they are tanned. He called it steroids and I've just reused the term. I guess it could be vitamins, or something else.

Yeah, it's never made sense to me in regard to "hunting."
I want to catch a black bass bigger than 12 lbs., but I'm not interested in "fishing" at a fish farm with a trophy fee to catch one. It would really be an empty sense of accomplishment.

Yea.Now we're talking.. cheerleader I had rather pay 100,000 for a truck and boat with all the latest sonar devices when fishing a well known Trophy Bass lake. Or when I hire a professional fishing guide to show me where the hot spots are so I can fish there the next time I bring my boat. They both give some that warm sense of accomplishment.

Is that all it takes? Maybe I should try doing all of that then hammer

As to the big buck pictured I can only speculate someway, somehow he got some serious personal attention during his formative years. Each to their own.


You seem to have opinions/lines you will not cross also. So I don't get the disdain for others who draw them a little differently. confused2
