How much did that cost?

Awesome buck!

Was it # 109? https://texashuntingforum.com/forum...-a-buck-like-this-very-often#Post9084950

Certainly looks like it.

Heck of a buck regardless.

Yes, that was him. He was released on the ranch out of the ranches own pens as a yearling. Then allowed to mature and breed the last 4 years. Praying we get a ton more babies down the road that look like him for sure.

That's interesting. How old was he in the pic with the other bucks in the pen, and how old when killed?

@ Scott, he's still in a pen in the ear tag photo. He was released four years, then killed it seems. I can't get it to add up.

i hope this happens.

I don't understand why some feel it's alright to belittle others accomplishments...I was raised better than that.

Congrats huntingguide, that's a beautiful deer.

lol, pic with a net fence means he was in pen And not in a bachelor group at a feed station or water next to a fence……

Unbelievable the amount people who are here to solely troll and do everything they can to cheapen others, sad.

Who did that?

You.

No just reminded me of the last time you trolled a member that I miss….

I had a great buck on camera in August. I posted a pic of him. Only one pic, and never seen live. He was killed on our ranch by another hunter about 3-4 miles away. In velvet, pretty massive rack. The kill photo in November, no development from when he was in velvet and will prolly score 165". The ear tag photo compared to the kill photo, he actually looked older and with more mass than in the velvet photo. My question was relevant to me in terms of how a pen raised deer developed more mass than that of a free range deer since the timing was identical. Ya'll should get over yourselves and find a greater purpose in life than trying to be guardians of this small-time forum.

You. It’s a picture of live deer and dead deer. That’s what it is. You have no other context outside of that.

Start another thread then. Your question is about nutrition. Consult a biologist

Have you purchased this forum?

This is crawfish off your original post, atleast be enough man to own your trolling

I’d say ask STX about nutrition since developing feed for LF/HF was his specialty, but you ran him off trolling him

You're a trouble maker, troll, self appointed guardian..........you and others are the ones that make this forum negative. Three of you troll me, to accuse me of being a troll. Pathetic. Here is the point that you go nuclear so the thread will get taken down to save yourself the embarrassment.

As for crawfishing, not at all. I asked the OP some questions. They're still out there. If he wants to help me with some relevant information that I asked about, that's fine. If not, that's ok as well.

None of your questions are relevant, you are just a bully that plays a little victim when called out on it. I’m not the least worried about my reputation.

You started with an incorect assumption. I am sure it was the first time.

After what the OP told us, I never thought of him being in a pen just prior to the season. That photo of him in velvet didn't lead me to thinking he was in a pen. He never showed you a photo of that deer as a yearling. You got it wrong.

past actions carry consequences -

That's interesting. How old was he in the pic with the other bucks in the pen, and how old when killed?

@ Huntinguide83, thanks. He looked way younger in the face in velvet than he did in the kill pic. Also, I saw the enclosure in the background. Had the photo's been taken a few years apart that would have been interesting to know as well. It seemed that year to year his rack didn't develop. Knowing he was killed a few months after the velvet pic that makes sense. I had a buck in August on camera, one pic and that's it. He was killed a few miles away in November by another hunter on our ranch. The buck you post seemed to put on mass from that velvet stage to being hard horned. Mine, opposite situation.

Here’s another picture of him late last year. He didn’t have have second drop and matching flyer off his left side then. But it’ll show you his mass progression that you asked about.

This guy had a single, four inch drop two years prior to his demise. The year before his demise, he was a slick 8.

Yes and pretty stable I might add.

That wall must not back up to your bedroom….

I may have to find some indian corn

Holy smoke. Among the most visually appealing bucks I’ve seen. Can you share the score or a few of the antler dimensions? “Just how big is that”, is what I’m cogitating about. Spectacular buck!
