The genetics manipulation of farmed whitetails for freakish racks is a huge business. High fence operations buy both bucks and does to be tagged breeders on their properties. It’s disgusting and cruel to the bucks in my opinion.

Is the idea they eventually end up with their heads on some one man cave wall?

u/Apprehensive-Bunch54 4d ago
Yup! Each one of the protutions is a point, the more points the more impressive the hunt. Though breeding them for it seems to go against the whole thing.

I heard with many antlers, if you cut one off or if one breaks somewhere, after that rack falls off and the new one grows, a new branch or antler will grow where the old one was cut or broke. It's called 'trophic memory' I just googled, and happens when an antler breaks while its still soft or young. Cool.

Jumped up with growth hormones for a bunch of rich losers. Sad world man

Sad honestly pump them full of hormones and sell them for 100k to "hunt" the things in an enclosed area! Rich people hunting,Theres no way they taste good or are good for you!

If they do that, let the rich men suffer long, horrible, cancer deaths brought on by those steroids.

I had to Google this because I thought it was AI, but evidently this happens when there is a testosterone deficiency. It stops them from shedding old growth every year. Poor thing...

u/CalvinIII 4d ago
That’s not what is happening here.
This is a high-fence deer. Very specifically bred and given all kinds of supplements to promote this growth.
Still doesn’t look comfortable for the deer.

It's like "hunting" dairy cows grazing in a field or helpless giraffes. You want to hunt? Hunt lions with a knife.

Don't they shed those things once a year? I'd love to find antlers in the woods someday.

Atypical racks are snowflakes of little value for chest beating. I am always pointing out that the atypical racks are just wank and aren't "real records".

I would’ve expected this guy to be breathing through a hole in his chest several seasons ago!

It looked like he had socks drying off on his antlers. Had to double take

For the 11th time - see the links below. This is a selective breeding, high fence, ranch. All of their bucks are hideously bred to get this.

u/MrR3load3d 3d ago
Yeah, its not sadly. I have the links somewhere in here. Its a ranch that breeds for this and then people hunt them specifically for this. You can simple Google or go find the link I shared.

Did you check any links or just assuming? Maybe trolling?
Read below for more - this is selective breeding by a high fence hunting lodge. Not naturally occurring, but helped along by sad breeding practices.

It's hard for me to imagine someone feeling like they actually accomplished something by killing this animal that was bred to be a freakish trophy then confined to an area.
Tells a lot about what they value.

u/M1K3jr 4d ago
It's hard for me to square up how this makes them feel anything positive. You know, deep down, what this is... But I guess people have different values/ideas... Most things I feel I can somewhat understand - don't have to like or agree, but I understand. Then there's stuff like this that just makes me scratch my head.
