Your pistol might fall off, or you might get lucky and just lose your bullets but, at least you have the option to still "mount" something.
Now show me a buck like that, that's nature made!
Sorry, not impressed with bag / block fed deer. I am just a real hunter who takes real pride in taking what's offered naturally.
I got a 4 pointer this year, now that's a trophy take, with 0% additives or preservatives.
That's just another problem with some deer farmers these days, too many egos about who can grow the biggest deer, whatever happened to "deer hunting"?
Someone left me some bad karma about my reply to this post, it reads,
"you're an idiot if you are calling this a farm raised deer."
NOTE: brew some coffee, 'cause here I go!
Do I feel this was a "Farm Raised" deer, YES, in every way I do, and I can supply the facts to make my case. It's like any other livestock farmer purposely growing bigger livestock for bigger income. Farmers do it all the time, catfish, chickens, turkeys, cattle, ect. Do you honestly think these animals get as big as they do at this rate in nature? NO!
That's why the livestock farmers use high protein feeds with daily supplements, to make them bigger, better, faster. If they weigh more, they cost more. Heck, chicken farmers even use steroid based feeds to increase the number of eggs that a chicken lays! Go to Southern States and ask what "Rooster Booster" and "XLA" is for.
If this deer was an all natural, 100% additive free animal, then I would have 1200 acres full of them, and so would everyone else. Not even do the salt marshes around the Zekiah Swamp area produce deer like this, and that's an all natural food source! And we all know deer take to salt like flies on...
Here's my challenge to that person who left that comment:
Prove to me, with your hand on the Bible, that this deer was not feed a regular diet of Trace Mineral salt, which probably came from Southern States or Tractor Supply in an 80 pound bag or a 50 pound block, and other high protein greens, which are not native to the area where the deer was shot.
If you can prove to me that I am the idiot you say I am, then I will publicly apologize to everyone who is familiar with this post.
Now, be sure to learn what my past profession was, before you make yourself the idiot here. There are things I know professionally about this subject.
I simply stated that I am a man who prefers to hunt deer in a natural way, I appreciate the offer of what nature has to provide and that is why I hunt. If you do not understand that I simply made my opinion public, then you have not a clue about the subject you are speaking against.
I myself could grow a deer to be as big as I want it to be, I think this 30 point monster buck is pretty awesome to look at, BUT, it's not a freak of nature... it's a freak of man!
If you are jealous of this 30 point monster and wish you had one, contact me, I'll tell you how to grow a whole herd of them, ga-run-dang-teed!
BTW, ever seen those 20 pound rabbits at the county fair that take up the whole cage? Yep, freak of man too!
The sport comes from having enough skill to sneak in close enough to touch it. It takes little skill to kill them. Until you have felt the shakes from having gotten that close to said animal, you really haven't a clue what it's all about.
begging for the red, so you got it and I signed it.
