People are releasing raised deer into the wild and not talking about it. I know of 2 people that have done it in the last 3 years so I’m with the others, record books are garbage anymore but I’ll still smoke a 200”r if it walks by but not tell a soul about it. Anyone talking about killing a giant on low fenced property is either an idiot or simply a fame seeker.

BOBO I’m not up to speed on the DNA game, do they check that these days? The 2 guys I’m referring to release 2 mature bucks every year in a certain area and 4 have been killed that we’re absolute giants but the hunters kept the kills pretty quiet but one of them was all over everything and every magazine since he roamed a long ways away to be killed by someone that didn’t know what he killed. They have definitely upped the genetics in this certain area though with lots of non typicals being killed now after 9 years of this going on. One day a new state record non typical record will probably come from this area between these toads and the Oklahoma freak genetics inner mingling together along the Red River.

Call it cheating or not but released breeders into the wild to breed doe’s happen way more than most think Im betting. These guys I know for a fact do it being I’ve watched it happen so I know this can’t be a localized deal going on.

this whole thread is proof deer hunting is not what it used to be. Too many worried about getting rich by RAISING huge deer. They are barley wild. Inbreeding

who in their right mind would pay $30,000 + just to shoot a giant deer. Corporate people who could really care less

YES to answer the OP's question. There will be a world record from Texas or Saskatchewan . If its Texas, it will be inbred or by illegal means

This thread is proof that few people on here know anything at all about deer breeding....

Yelp, that was point I was trying to make. Theory and pactice are two different things. Lots of theory

You have human athletes. They are given certain things to enhance their performance. They break a world record. Did they really break it?

Athletes are injected with differet types of anabolic steroids / growth hormone to increase muscle mass and athletic performance.



Please, can somebody tell me what people are injecting deer with? I've heard all kinds of crazy accusations in the past few weeks


Out of all the people i know who breed deer ( or did before CWD ) the only thing I ever saw anyone inject into a deer ( other than a sedative reversal drug ) was B12 after it had been darted and put into the trailer for transport.


Most of the comments on here are so far past ridiculous its not even funny.....they are already crying foul over a record that hasn't even been broken yet, but if it is, you can bet your boots that someone cheated or the animal was manipulated in some way.....

I am not saying deer are injected with anything. Not that many years ago deer were not fed high protein feed with plenty of other nutriants in it. This goes on LF and HF. They have all they want to eat and never have to venture as far from the feeder as it takes to get water. Those deer that made the record book years ago were to me real record holders. They had to fend for themselves and be smart enough to not get shot until they matured to a perfect age. Now a person depending on how deep their pockets are can raise a record book deer given the right genetics. And I have and do know deer breeders and outfitters. There are deer on here at times and at others full times selling deer. So if you want the genetics you are looking for it is no farther than the phone and your wallet. So if you think my statements are ridiculous you need to read some of your own.

I used to think Mitch Rompala was an A-hole now I just think he’s really smart.

When i shoot the world record I’m gonna share it with stxranchman, creek runner and bobo and that’s it....

I guess the rest of us can only hope STX will send us all a photo

Right!!!

But Dont share it with me, I dont like Feds and I'm sure they and the NSA will investigate any rumor of one!!!

Paranoia will destroy ya'

Like was said above, I can only imagine that the records days are numbered. With the rainfall we have had it should be a great year. Also in general I see more and more pictures of middle aged and mature bucks that are let walk. It appears more and more people are conscious off and attempting to practice some form or other of management and attempting to increase the quality of their deer herd.
