I would of let him go another year... Yep. See if he added a few dozen more drop tines. Some folks just don't understand quality deer management practices.

At least they took the tag out of his ear. To each their own, if I had unlimited money my opinion might get swayed.

I'm Offended... but would harvest that deer if showed up while I was outdoors enjoying my experience while hunting at any of my low fence free range leases and access property. I'm not a fan of that type of deer development but it is America, free commerce and economics and I believe in "to each his own" within legality. Heck the big money people in that type deer industry do help the common hunter with all sorts of trickle down in products developed don't you think? Just look how Double Down has expanded with dealers carrying that product throughout the state. DD could create that deer in no time

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Lab experiment. I'd shoot him if he walked out, though, but I'm not paying $100,000 for the rights.

When did killing stuff become a sport? Hunting isn’t a sport, fact someone would refer to it as such, shows they truly only consider it a grip and grin photo experience. Sorry but killing things for the sport of it is last reason you hunt... if a reason at all.
Not sure how a deer defines ones hunting experience. Not sure why someone would care about how someone else hunted, why they hunted, where they hunted and how the spent their time hunting.
I guess it can loosely be called a sport, though not in the same context as a sport such as badminton or croquet. Maybe a "recreational activity" would sum it up. I enjoy every aspect of it....the environment it takes place in, the off season prep, the adrenaline rush ( I'm very unapologetically willing to admit i get a big high off of making a kill shot, most aren't and they fake being remorseful because it sounds more socially acceptable) the food, the trophy, etc. I'm not into deer like the one in the post but if some are then thats fine. I don't see the point in calling it a "world record" though because it was a product of a laboratory and not nature.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

The deer I could careless about, not my thing but don’t know why someone would care unless it wasted in the field, even then one could still agrue utilization

Believe it or not, but there are entire internet forums dedicated to hunting and discussions about how people hunt, why they hunt, where they hunt, and how they spend time hunting.

I hope nobody gets offended but deer like this that are WAY over engineered above what nature can do reminds me of those doctor shows on TV where they have some lady on the show that's had 10 breast augmentation surgeries and says she wants to get bigger. After awhile it's past the point of being attractive.
To me this is somewhat the same but if a guy has enough money and the breeders can put one more inch of horn on a deer then someone will go for it. But to each his own. It's literally buying ones way into being a world record holder.
I am not against high fence hunting or upgrading the herd in a high fence environment but I think this is probably much closer to a pen environment to avoid breaking points or horns.

I bet the neck roasts on that thing were tougher than shoe leather, from it holding up all that antler...ouch! Probably carried enough velvet to upholster a 70's Caddie!

Man, I would agree with that in many cases, but not this one. Neck roasts are not something to be trifled with. Woman better get it right if she likes her current arraignment. See, my wife is a true handful, but she cooks a mean roast, so I deal with it.

Livestock. I'd rather have a fat doe, a tender spike or a nice natural 8 point than that. But then I have never hunted for antlers and they mean nothing to me.

I find it hard to believe deer like this could appear naturally in the wild, but have never seen anything about how they might be produced through selective breeding.

Scroll down the page to all the top Non Typical bucks....they all appeared "naturally in the wild" to the hunters that killed them. https://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/...ical-and-nontypical-whitetails-all-time/

I wonder what effect eating the meat from that deer would have on the human body?......Anyone here have experience and able to answer that question?
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.
