Don't guys pay 50-100k for 400-500 inchers? I'd guess this clown paid at least several hundred thousand for this one.

I dont know how that deer could even hold its head up. Some of the bigger ones in the pens down the road I would say are in that 250-300" range maybe. They have to lay their heads on the ground pretty often cause they can't hold them up for long. I am not impressed with the big pen raised deer either. I like non-typicals, but most of them are just a unattractive blobs of antler.

Sorry God had little to do with this one, more likely the chemicals you been pumping into that poor thing since it was a fawn.
Then to be proud of shooting a pen raised deer? Wow great accomplishment.

Yuck, I'd rather kill a 135" 8 point grown in the wild.

Just more proof that deer farms are nothing more than Petri dishes and should be banned.
I don't understand why there's not outrage about raising deer to artificially have giant racks. The dairy industry got beat up for injecting cows with BGH. If they bred cows to have 6 teats the world would explode with outrage.

I wanna know how common has it become to import bred does on private farms. It's been brought up a time or two before, but my conspiracy is that it's increasing. I don't watch much youtube hunting, but my son does, and from the background it seems these film guys are killing 200" deer constantly now. And some of the bigger name guys seem to have a 200" on their private farms yearly. And more often than not, they're nontypicals as opposed to typicals. Deer farms never figured out how to raise giant, clean typicals (to the best of my knowledge), so that part of it fits, too.

It’s weird and disgusting and you are a giant loser if you think you hunted one of these animals, they wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t a market. And a lucrative market at that. Personally I don’t draw a giant distinction between hunting a pen raised deer and hunting a deer over bait or hunting in a high fence. None are natural or “sporting”. While I think the disease component is one that needs to be scrutinized, if bait is legal and high fences are legal I guess this should be too.

I don't care for it myself but I'm not against the people that want to do it. It's up to them but definitely not anything I would ever spend a nickel on.

Fenced private farms? Probably a lot. Non fenced? Close to zero.

I thought it was discovered the Drurys were doing it on open farms many years ago. Once the cat was out I bet a ton of guys followed. Not guys with 40 acres, but 500+ I'm sure some of these crazed industry guys figure it's worth a shot.
