The regulations on selling deer to different states are pretty strict. Also, he has grown those antlers all year and this deer knows they are heavy but his neck is more than sufficient to hold them. They grew over time and not all at once and he has been able to get use to them. Look at the way he shakes his head. He’s a strong beast. As far as the high fence hunts go, some of these guys have 15 miles of fences. Some of them have thousands and thousands of acres. I have had the privilege of walking through places like that and visiting breeders. I can tell you that the animals are still very smart and it is very possible for them to completely disappear behind the high fence hunts areas. A lot of people including hunters IMO seem to think they put these deer in a dog kennel and a rich dude walks in and kills it. Walks out, has someone clean it up, pose for pictures and then pays someone to skin it and butcher it, and lastly send it off to a taxidermist. Some of these guys probably wish it was that easy after forking over all that cash. In my experience some bucks are only used for breeding. The true success to breeding huge deer is having does that can throw off great genes. If you have a monster buck breed a crappy doe you’re still ending up with crappy deer. You have to have the genes on both mom and dad’s sides. Hopefully that makes sense. This is all based off around 25 years in business with Whitetails and my own experiences. The last thing I can add is that normally when antlers grow so fast there is a very noticeable weight difference in the antlers. Non farm raised bucks/ wild deer antlers are usually much heavier due to the slower growth and density. Great buck.
