I know it's probably just me, But I would much rather have a natural low fenced 8 or 10 point buck hanging on my wall than that high fence growth hormone fed deer anytime.

Their website doesn't list the price. My guess is $15k. Just a guess though

remember this guy??

Yes, why?

Congratulations to the guy who has the money for something like this. Sadly, every time I go to my taxidermist and see the non typical racks, the first thing I ask is if it was high fence or not. Seems that there are so many pen raised deer out there that they have lost all meaning to me. Then the story comes out about the size of the pen, and how tame the animal was. 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.

It was phony, photo shopped, I believe in Minnesota, called the Rampolla Buck or something like that.

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
