For a 1 1/2 year old deer to have 300 inches of bone on his head. The reason I ask is that some guy on another forum claims that they have a breeder deer that is 1 1/2 and is that big. I find that very hard to believe. Im talking best possible conditions and pumping protein into the deer every day or whatever they do to make those deer grow that big.

Thanks,

seems far fetched to me. that would be his first full rack. even with great genetics and protein feed, just seems too good to be true

i'd be more impressed if
it weighed 200 pounds
field dressed

Ive seen 2 1/2yr old deer with that much but not a 1 1/2

I would be skeptical

They can get big with genetics and pouring protein to them, but 300 inches? I'd want to see pictures and a birth certificate.

freak of nature

It will be a manufactured buck.

Clone

steroids.....

I'd want to see pictures and a birth certificate.

Could be possible.. wasn't that long ago that a 200"+ three year old seemed impossible..

There wa a freak that was up in N Texas close to Sherman area I believe they advertised on back of TTHA magazine that claimed a 1.5 yr old 300 inch buck . However he died before his next birthday!

That's why I don't even take the Texas Trophy Hunters magazine anymore. It's turned into a "freak show" full of ads showing these pen raised deer for sale that will never resemble anything close to what they are in a pen raised environment if they lived in the wild.

I'd like to see some pics of this deer

Yep, I canceled for this very reason.

It's just silly at this point. I'm not even interested in seeing pictures of them.

Yeah a good lie...er...story.., is always better with pictures.

I think they put a electrical dog stimulator collar on each horn and electrically stimulate the horns as they grow.

Same here.

I've personally seen a pen full of 200-260" yearlings, but never have heard of a 300" yearling.

I'm not impressed either way. Freak show is right. They're just plain ugly.

ask him to pinch himself next time he sees it. I see crap like that in my dreams all the time

Not just ugly...fugly!!! Those freaks with all the junk on top will never, in my eyes, surpass a nice wide & heavy 8 or 10 pt coming out of the brush in front of me.

Me too,,,

The guy we just leased from outside llano has a high fence/breeding operation going and we saw a 3yo with 210" of bone on his head. He's putting him out in the 250acre pin next year. He's already getting offers for up to $13,000.
