It will probably be fine if it stays hydrated and kept close to freezing consistently.

I assume that is the only picture you have of that deer? He just showed up out of the blue.

That deer would be destined for a wall near me. That is cool looking rack. Back when I was doing taxidermy I mounted a buck with antlers that looked like a hand holding a baseball reaching for the sky .... both sides. You could literally set a baseball on both sides. I have printed photos of it...

That would be a BIG negative!

I can't find a packing slip email. I think Roundstone, like Native Hunter mentioned might have been my source. You could also reach out to Pheasants Forever through their seed purchase page and see if they could source it for you.

I bought some 2 Winters ago for a renovation I was doing. I will do some digging tonight and see if I can figure out where I got it. Common Ragweed seed is easy to source, Giant is harder to find. Does with newborn fawns absolutely hammer it. I have video off of trailcameras somewhere that makes...

Beautiful buck! Nice job! I love the dark antlers and the dark face.

No matter what the guy you are buying from says they aren't going to survive in a high enough percentage to create a wild population. Pen raised birds are fed from a feeder from the time they are hatched, there are no predators inside a pheasant pen (unless something just dug in and then watch...

Short answwer .... NO Will they live for 24 hours, most of them. Will they live for a week, a few of them. Will they live through the Winter ........... refer to the short answer. 😉

The lower the temperature gets the less the coons move, especially if there is snow on the ground. Not uncommon for coons to hole up in a tree or in the ground for several days if temps are in the lower 20s or lower. They are basically in semi-hibernation, thus the reason a healthy coon has alot...

I wouldn't disagree with him being 4. With that being said, whether I let him walk or not is relative to what else is around to target and if your property has a history of bucks making it to see the next year.

Probably not. 18" at DBH (diameter at breast height) is about the minimum size to get any decent money.

They are fruit stealing little SOBs. I keep a shotgun in strategic places. If they are within 50 yards of a fruit tree they become organic fertilizer. Not saying they are bad eating we used to do a couple of big hunts on them every Fall when I was a kid. You could shoot a bunch of them and they...

Heavy gauge bicycle cable lock. Harder to cut cable in most instances anyhow. Many of them are covered in a plastic sleeve as well.

I did that the last time I brought it to the house. Seemed to work properly for a few pictures then went back to giving me the pink photos. I will call Cuddeback one of these days to see about sending it in.
