Frankenstein's monster deer.....I'd rather see a LF typical 12 pt.

It's pretty impressive when you consider the fact that it only takes roughly 6 months for bucks to grow antlers.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

I'm with snake wrangler and colt 45. Guys that feel the need for a deer like that have lost sight of why they started hunting in the first place.

I dropped off a mainframe 10 I shot this year to the processor. Next to my buck lay a high fenced freak. I commented that my buck was nothing by comparison. Someone responded, "No, yours is something special while that buck is artificial, fake, and phony, and $20,000 will get you one just like it."
I really don't understand the interest in shooting genetically manipulated, formula fed, pen raised, freaks of nature. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

It dang sure ain't for me.
I also don't understand why others want to do it when the vast majority of the world doesn't condone it. Who are you impressing?
Hey, if that what floats your boat, by all means. I just don't understand it. Don't ever expect me to.

Not from BC, they don't recognize HF deer. It is SCI who does because their members insisted these need a record book.
It only thing it means when a guy says he shot an SCI book deer is that he is rich as hail and bought and grew a pet.
Then shot it.

B&C has their own club and their own rules. Who are they to need an "explanation" from anyone who doesn't care to join their club?
NOTHING is getting out of hand. If you don't want to kill a deer like that... Then don't!
Bitching about what someone else chooses to do with their time and money makes you sound like a frumpy old mother hen.
Is that REALLY what you want to be????

What part is considered the "main frame"?
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

For the record, when folks post photos and big signs declaring "world records", blah, blah - comment is sure to follow. Circumstances of the "hunt" is fair game. If you can't accept that, don't put it out there.
Questions, comment, and/or observations about something placed in the public domain ain't "bitching". If you're proud of it and think it's all hunky dory, why be defensive about the circumstances? Same for those that get all defensive for others.
The fact that folks want others to just ooh, aah, and ask no questions/brook no comment about the circumstances belies their insecurity about those very circumstances.
In other words, if you're proud, be proud of the entire hunt, not just the size of the deer. Own it all. Or don't publicize it.
People never say "Yes he was taken on a HF hunt in one afternoon that I paid 20K for, so what? I'm still very proud of him. It's all the same." Instead, they get all butthurt and defensive when asked about the hunt. It's all very telling.

And if someone is going to actually be a jack wagon about it...just deal with it. Noted for future

If someone is a jackwagon, just call them a jackwagon and move on. That's what secure people do.
It's the being all defensive that tells the tale. They are defensive because they are insecure. I have yet to see one HF photo poster own the hunt. They just ask for all questions/comment about anything but oohs/ahhs or size to stop. If the hunt could stand on its own merits, that wouldn't need to happen.
I have defended against asinine comments about my hunts with no issue. No help needed or asked for. Actually, most of the time no defense was necessary because the jackwagon nature of the unknowledgable comments was apparent on its face.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

They are placing themselves in the position of needing an explanation as to why someone would breed deer to meet a market request. Go to their Facebook page and read their comments. They have become grousing hens about it because if it doesn't meet their club criteria. And they "need an explanation" for why others choose to do things outside the boundaries they feel comfortable trying to impose on others.
